| Barrack Information: |
In July, troopers responded to the scene of a serious personal injury school bus
collision in Harford County that injured scores of children and closed northbound I-95 for
hours. No one was killed but four children, of the 60 people on the bus, sustained
serious injuries and were flown by the Department’s medevac helicopter to Johns
Hopkins Hospital. The rescue operations and emergency care provided by more than
60 Harford County fire and rescue personnel were prompt and outstanding. The
collision involved one bus, of a six bus convoy returning to Philadelphia, and a truck
tractor. They sideswiped each other, and the bus then swerved and overturned. Later
that night, the children were returned to Philadelphia on buses escorted by troopers. Criminal interdiction and enforcement through complete traffic stops remained a primary focus of troopers, and they made 34,700 stops in 2006. Significant seizures made after vehicles were stopped for equipment or traffic violations include one case where a search after a positive K-9 alert discovered 40 pounds of marijuana. Other cases found almost 4 ounces of heroin and $4,693 cash, 20.7 pounds of marijuana and $303, 12 pounds of cocaine, and one which found more than half ($103,900) of the year’s total currency seizures ($183,883). A reported armed robbery at the Chesapeake House Rest Area was later discovered to be a conspiracy between the victim and suspect, and both were arrested and charged. At the same area, a complaint of identity theft was successfully resolved with the arrest of an employee. Criminal Investigation Section personnel also assisted the P.A.C.E. team by processing their currency seizures and CDS storage, and with debriefing, processing and charging arrested individuals. |
