¥ November 1, 2007 The Kings Mountain Herald nn =yp_";m Page 5 LOCAL NEWS KM PoLICE REPORT Tips from citizens help HE eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com The leaves are not the only things falling this Autumn. Kings Mountain's crime rate is down 42.5 percent, said KMPD Chief Melvin Proctor at a press conference on Friday. The department has seen a steady decline over the past three years in the crime rate. Proctor added that one of the main reasons for the drop is community support. “We wanted to build a bridge with the community to get them to help,” he said. And help they did. Now, the department's limited scope can see twice as far with the extra watchful eyes of its cit- izens. A special task force, Community Oriented Policing, works hand-in-hand with the public in efforts to crack down on crime. Another cause for the dent in the crime rate and result of the community's support is the cur- rent Operation Fall Harvest. This year-long undercover drug sting operation has led to the arrest of eight people. Four more are being hunted. Detective Sgt. Lisa Proctor said that each one of the targets on their list resulted from citizens complaints. Forty-two charges in all stem from the simple act of the public fighting back. Det. Proctor said that not all of the leads that came in panned through. But the ones that did have led to a wide- spread sweep of suspects. The warrants police served on Monday, October 22, led to the confiscation of hundreds of pre- scription pills and a large amount of marijuana, Det. Proctor said. In addition to the two arrested and charged on October 22, the police arrested six more suspects on Friday. Another one on their wanted list, 38-year-old Travis Lance Treen, turned himself in on Monday. Treen was charged with two counts each of possession with intent to sell/deliver marijuana and sell/deliver of marijuana. Torie Lee Woodward was charged with one count each of felony possession with intent to sell cocaine, felony sell/deliver of cocaine and sell/deliver of cocaine within 300 feet of a school.
