Editor:
Regarding Diane Diute’s letter of Feb. 27, the Sweet Home Police Department has checked our records for any incident where an officer had someone at gunpoint anywhere in the writer’s immediate neighborhood. Nothing at all was found going back the last seven years.
Our records indicate that nearly 10 years ago, in 2003, we had a pursuit which ended up not far from the writer’s residence. The driver, as part of standard procedure, may have been taken out of the vehicle in a “high risk stop” during the arrest.
Not sure if this is what the writer was referring to or not.
