Show August 14, 2012 Police pester new owner of former crook s house Editor, Recently, 10 fully-armed officers from various agencies showed up at my door. They were looking for a person who has not lived at this address since we bought the house over four years ago. This is at least the fifth time this has happened in those four years. Not only that, but our house has been watched numerous times with no action taken. Each time we have tried to patiently explain that we don't know this guy, aren't related to him and have no idea where he is. I understand that they are just trying to apprehend a criminal and they were nice, however, why can't these various agencies talk to each other and place a note in this guy's file that he doesn't live here and to not pay us a visit? The first time was interesting, the fifth time not so much. I would like this to stop before an accident of some sort happens and someone innocent gets hurt or property is damaged. A call placed to the Ogden PD last night was pretty much useless, as I was essentially told that there was nothing I could do to prevent this from happening again. My next step is to file complaints with Ogden PD, Weber County sheriff, and any other agency involved. Come on police, quit being lazy and do a little research before you just blindly go an address that clearly isn't his and hasn't been for a number of years. Put a note in this guy's file. It's not hard to do. I'm sure that if this was happening to a member of law enforcement, it would only happen once because they would know how to take care of it. Jim Skaggs Marriott-Slaterville Fugitive turns himself in Police had made repeated visits to man's former Marriott-Slaterville home By MITCH SHAW Standard-Examiner staff mishaw@standard.net <mailto:mishaw@standard.net> OGDEN - Jim Skaggs won't have to worry anymore about police knocking on his door looking for Weston Oram - the wanted fugitive turned himself in to police earlier this week. Weber County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Mark Lowther said Oram, 32, turned himself in to the sheriff's office Monday and was subsequently arrested for violation of parole, a third-degree felony. In what appears to be a case of mistaken home identity, Skaggs told the Standard-Examiner last week that police agencies have visited his home multiple times over the past several years looking for Oram, although Skaggs is not related to Oram, doesn't know him and has never even seen him. It turns out Skaggs' house is the last known address for Oram, who was arrested at that address before Skaggs bought the Marriott-Slaterville home. Oram was released from Utah State Prison on May 15 and placed on parole, but Adult Probation and Parole recently issued a warrant and asked the U.S. Marshals Service to find Oram after he violated parole. Oram was originally sentenced June 10, 2010, in 2nd District Court in Farmington to two concurrent terms of up to five years in prison. He pleaded guilty to assault of a prisoner and possession of a controlled substance, both third-degree felonies. Oram is being held in Weber County Jail without bail. 203 |
