Hi Neighbors,
As you might know, the gated driveway on County Park Road serves as a parking spot for people who are looking for a hidden place to party, etc. Last night around midnight, there was reportedly an altercation that resulted in repeated cries for help. I didn’t hear this personally because of the strange way sound travels in the forest. But I’m aware that the Sheriff was called and arrived within 15 minutes. But, it is appears that the people involved had left by that time.
The reason why I’m posting this is because I walked over to the gated driveway and found at least six used condoms and two empty condom boxes on the ground. This, of course, is disgusting litter. But what makes my blood boil is the idea that someone was crying out for help. So, even if this began consensually, it didn’t end that way.
I was told that there was some clothing down by the creek but now that clothing is gone. My hope is that the Sheriff picked up the clothing as evidence. I’m not going to clear away the condom garbage for the same reason. And the owners of that property are responsible for keeping their property clean. I pick up garbage their occasionally but this is something entirely different.
I’m hoping that the owners of the gated driveway will consider options for monitoring their property. Last year, I reported that their fence had been cut and this was quickly repaired. Clearly this driveway is attracting the wrong element.
Again, I did not hear the cries for help nor did I see the vehicle. But other neighbors did and will be keeping a watchful eye out. The reason why I’m posting this is because this turnout is a known hangout for people who are up to no good. And my heart breaks for whomever found themselves in that situation last night regardless of what bad decisions placed them there.
With sadness and a tinge of anger,
Dawn

Hi Dawn…not sure exactly where this is. I thought there was a water district propert with a chain link locked gate on the right, heading toward the park. Is there a house connected with the gate you are referring to?
Thanks

So we think the party responsible for the littering of condoms have returned. They’re not making a scene or anything so don’t know if we should call the sheriff or not. We’re also not sure if they’re related to the situation late last night. How would one go about a situation like this?

I would call sheriff to investigate. Response time is slow sometimes.

Genevieve-
Absolutely- call the sheriff any time you observe suspicious activity in the neighborhood. They would be very much interested in the type of incident that has been described here.

Not wishing to put anyone in excessive risk, but taking discrete pics of vehicles, license plate, or questionable individuals would probably be a great help.
