On Saturday morning, Dec. 24, Mexico Public Safety officers went to the 900 block of West Breckenridge in reference to a fire in the wall of a home.
Responding personnel found a small fire under the siding. The fire was contained and extinguished with minimal damage to the house. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
On Christmas day, Sunday, Dec. 25, Mexico Public Safety responded to the 400 block of South Calhoun in reference to a dumpster fire close to a building. Responding personnel extinguished the fire in the dumpster with minimal smoke and heat damage to the nearby building. The fire was caused by the disposal of hot material. There were no injuries during either event.
On Monday, Dec. 26, Mexico Public Safety Department went to the 800 block of West Monroe in reference to people with a gun. Responding personnel learned the back window of an SUV was damaged by what appeared to by a BB gun. Some alert residents informed Mexico Public Safety and this led officers to the 600 block of South Olive where a 17-year-old male juvenile was detained and taken to Mexico Public Safety Department. The 12th Circuit Court Juvenile Division took custody of the juvenile for this and numerous unrelated offenses.
