PHONE 2124 Letter Replies To Comments On Incident, Law Enforcement Mr. Editor: This letter is in reply to stories being circulated, including one in a publication, concerning an Elmwood incident. I feel that the information piven, in most part, was evi dence for the Cor.it to hear and rule on in judging the cae. I feel that the critici.m lev eled against the County Sheriff's Office and the Nebraska Safety Patrol was not supported by facts nor justified. I would therefor like to com ment on the reference to the law enforcement. The stories say in part: 1. "The Lincolnites were held by the Elmwood residents until the arrival of Sheriff Solomon, approximately 1''2 hours after he was called". "The Highway Pa trol was also called but they did not anpear until after the Sheriff had left with the prisoners for Plattsmouth". At the time we received the call, the night deputy and I were assisting a State Trooper near Murray in a search for two youths who had taken to an open snow covered field, in light dress, to avoid being questioned by the Trooper. Our concern was for the safety of the youths in the sub-freezing weather and the security of the surrounding resi dents. At 9:27 P.M. March 3, the rec ords of the Lincoln Telephone Of fice shows that the first call was made to the sheriff's office. The call from an Elmwood roller rink said. "There are a bunch of kids down from Lincoln and we ex pect trouble and would like to have the sheriff here about clos ing time at 10:30." At 9:45 P.M. a second call was booked from Elmwood to the Sheriff's Office in which the call er advised that a fight had de veloped and that the sheriff or patrolman was needed. At that time the State Safety Patrol stations both in Omaha and Lincoln knew by monitoring the sheriff's calls that officers were enroute to Elmwood. The Patrol radio log at Lincoln indicates that their call was re ceived around 9:33 P.M. from Elmwood. At 10:09 P.M. the Patrol's radio log indicates that a conver sation was being carried on be tween the Patrol office and Sher iff Solomon's car by radio as he entered the north edge of Elm wood. The Patrol radio log indicates their last radio contact with Sheriff Solomon was at 10:24 when he was five miles north of Elmwood enroute to Plattsmouth with nine Lincoln youths. Bearing with us that we were on emergency call at the time we received the 9:45 call that a fight was in progress; also take into consideration the icy and un safe conditions of the roads for fast driving on the night of March 3, and still it took only 24 minutes to travel the 26 miles, give or take a few minutes. This is far from the V,2 hours given as answering time in one account being circulated. 2. "According to those present at the time, they saw no attempt to search either the prisoners or their car. They further stated they were not allowed to present version of what happened". When we arrived, the youths were pointed out and sufficient information was given to war rant their return to Plattsmouth for questioning. There were ap proximately 80 to 100 persons ga thered about with feelings run ning high among a few of them. Words of threats of violence were still being made so in view of the tense conditions the youths were loaded up and moved out. Just north of Elm wood we stopped and regrouped the youths. It was impossible to conduct an on-the-scene investigation at that time, so persons having in formation were told to present it to the County Attorney. Sunday and again on Monday calls were made by the sheriff's office to make sure all witnesses would be present at the County Attorney's office Monday morning, prior to charges being filed. A search was made of the youths and their car when they were booked at the County Jail. 3. "Confusion about what hap pened to the youths from the time they left Elmwood until Court time Monday morning". The youths were taken to the sheriff's office questioned and statements taken. Two youths re quested to see a doctor and they were returned to the County Jail from the doctor's office at 1 A.M. Sunday. At 10 A.M. Sunday morning the youths were re leased from the custody of the sheriff's office at the Court's di rection and told to report back for Court Monday which they did. 4. "A Lincoln youth shoved and tripped an Avoca youth. When the Avoca youth complained he was struck about the face". This of course is for the Court to decide. The story of the Avoca youth does not back up the ac count. The Avoca youth related to the County Attorney and oth ers that he was involved in the tripping incident and it was the Lincoln youth who ended up on the floor. The Avoca youth furth er stated that he walked over to apologize and offer assistance to the Lincoln youth and that is when the fracus started. Elmwood has many visitors from Lincoln but these youths stated it was their first trip io Elmwood. In the past youths from the Lincoln area have caused trouble in the West end of the County and in Elmwood. Records of the Sheriff's office well indicate that much policing is done in the Elmwood area. And I know the Safety Patrol likewise to do a lot of work in that part of the county. Completion of the two missile sites jn the Elmwood area will possibly necessitate additional policing in that area and at that time Elmwood may have to furn ish a part or full time officer to police their own Village. Possibly a fourth or more of the Sheriff's current budget and a like amount of the County Jail budget is being used to support a night deputy in the County, for work mostly in the Western part. The three men in the sheriff's office, work seven days a week 10 to 15 hours a day with many sleepless nights to police the county's 450 square miles with it's 18.000 citizens. This plus tax collection, health enforcement, trailer check, cabin policing and dozens of other things that citi zens have come to seek and ex pect from the Sheriff's Office have taxed the department to its limit.
