WYOMISSING, PA — Wyomissing Police officers responded to a wide range of incidents over December 11 and December 12, including multiple alleged DUI arrests, traffic crashes, fraud investigations, and a series of calls for service that kept patrol units active across the borough and nearby communities.
According to police blotter reports, officers made two separate DUI arrests during the overnight hours. In one case shortly after midnight, an officer conducted a traffic stop on Penn Avenue for an alleged lane violation and subsequently arrested the driver on suspicion of driving under the influence. A second alleged DUI arrest occurred the following night after police were dispatched to a report of a vehicle that had struck a parked car on Oley Street, resulting in the driver’s arrest and the vehicle being towed. Police reported alcohol was involved in both incidents.
Officers also investigated several traffic crashes during the two-day period, most of them classified as non-reportable accidents with no injuries. Incidents included rear-end collisions, vehicles striking others while backing out of parking spaces, and a single-vehicle crash observed by an officer in which a car came to rest partially on a concrete wall. In all cases, police reported no injuries, and drivers were provided with information to exchange insurance details.
Police were additionally called to assist with multiple welfare checks, including one incident on Van Reed Road where officers discovered two individuals living in a basement with the homeowner’s consent. Police reported both individuals had outstanding warrants, and one man was taken into custody and transported to central processing.
Other notable calls included an investigation into alleged access device fraud after a resident reported more than $5,800 in unauthorized credit card charges, a report of a firearm allegedly being brandished during a roadway encounter, and a trespassing incident in which police said a man provided false identification before being found to have an active probation warrant.
Routine patrol activity accounted for many of the remaining calls, including traffic violations, school bus stop-arm violations processed through the BusPatrol system, disabled vehicles, alarm activations later determined to be accidental, and assistance requests from neighboring police departments.
Police emphasized that all arrests and charges referenced remain allegations. Any suspect, arrestee, or defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
