The Fredonia Police Department is sharing crime statistics from the first half of the year.

 

At last night's Fredonia City Commission meeting, city supervisors shared their quarterly reports. Police Chief Brad Pflueger says the department has recently hired another officer.

 

Pflueger says the new K-9 unit has already assisted in several apprehensions.

 

Pflueger says during the first 6 months of the year, the department answered over 1,700 calls, charged 13 individuals on drug offenses, seized 10 grams of fentanyl, 15 grams of methamphetamine and just under one pound of marijuana. The department also issued 36 felony charges, 46 misdemeanor charges and 47 traffic citations.
