Police Blotter Records a Relatively Quiet Week in Scottsdale

It was, said Sheriff’s Sgt. David Watner of the Carson substation, a so-so week at Scottsdale.

Police records for the week of Feb. 29 to March 6 show 19 calls, reporting drug and weapons sales, shootings, a possible overdose, a car theft--as well as a domestic argument, a loud party and a car blocking someone’s driveway.

For Scottsdale, Watner said, “I don’t consider that busy.”
