Intensive Patrols Net Edgewood Citations



      Since more intensive patrols began about a week ago, Edgewood's police department has issued over a dozen citations and had its first felony arrest, according to Police Chief Paul Welch, who said the felony was possession of altered identification or an “identity theft kind of thing.”
    That case will go to magistrate court, but Welch said he is sure that Edgewood's court will be busier.
    “So far, so good,” Welch said.
    He said one of the issues the police have run into is dead zones for their handheld radios, a problem that is not so bad for the in-car radios.
    “We haven't run into as many bumps as we could have,” he said.
