July 4 Weekend: Cheyenne Police Report 851 Calls For Service

Cheyenne Police had a pretty busy July Fourth Holiday Weekend, according to CPD spokeswoman Alex Farkas.

For the period from July 3-6, Police investigated 20 car crashes and wrote 131 total citations for traffic and criminal offenses.

Fireworks Complaints, Traffic Stops Kept Police Busy

They also investigated 122 fireworks complaints, with one of those resulting in a ticket.
