The Staples Police Department reported another busy week.

Among numerous other calls, incidents included:

o Police responded to the Douglas Fahnlander residence in the 200 block of Fifth Street at 4:52 p.m. on Thursday, June 10. Fahnlander reported his van had been hit by a car while parked on the street. He told police the driver then fled the scene.

Police later located Aaron Schwartz, the driver of the vehicle, and arrested him for leaving the scene of an accident. He was also charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance. He was transported to the Todd County jail in Long Prairie. Fahnlander’s van had significant rear end damage.

o About 2:47 p.m. on June 7, Staples officer Jeff Jares saw a vehicle drive over the center line of the roadway on Thunder Road. The vehicle was stopped and the owner gave permission to have his vehicle searched.

During the stop, Staples officers Goff and Huber assisted Officer Jeff Jares with two males in the vehicle. Prescription medications were found in the vehicle that the occupants said were not theirs. Police said possible charges may stem from this incident pending further investigation.
