The Cheyenne Police Department was involved in a vehicle pursuit on January 28, at about 12:30 a.m. that ended with the suspect driver shooting himself. Charles Reno, 38, of Cheyenne, suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after being pursued by police.

A Cheyenne Police Officer observed Reno driving a stolen Chevy Avalanche near 12 th St. and Cleveland Ave. The officer initiated a traffic stop but Reno did not stop, instead he led officers on a pursuit. The pursuit went through the Sun Valley neighborhood on Meadow Dr. and the Avalanche crossed Taft Ave., then drove through a ditch near the Pershing Pointe
Apartments. The Avalanche left the apartment complex by driving between several apartment buildings and back onto Pershing Blvd. The truck was traveling at a high rate of speed, causing it to launch into the air and disable the vehicle when it landed on Pershing Blvd. When officers attempted to contact Reno in the Avalanche, they found that he was shot in the head and he was pronounced dead on scene.

The passenger of the vehicle, Samantha Smith, 28, of Cheyenne, was arrested on outstanding warrants from Goshen County and interference when officers determined Smith was falsely identifying herself as somebody else. Officers also found a misdemeanor amount of suspected methamphetamine on Smith. Smith was transported to Cheyenne Regional Medical
Center and then to the Laramie County Jail.

When the Avalanche entered the apartment complex, it struck a gas line and an electrical box causing gas and electrical services to be interrupted. Cheyenne Fire and Rescue assisted the CPD in evacuating the nearby apartments. Electricity and gas services are still being restored to the apartments. This case remains under investigation by the CPD.

DDA/Mainstreet is working to achieve strategies to better downtown Cheyenne.

Chairman of the DDA/Mainstreet, Sam Galeotos shared in the fall the upcoming journey of their Board of Directors. The outcome would be primary goals and strategies. Tonight an update was provided featuring a detailed mission, defined goals and strategies. A timeline applied to this information is on the horizon.

During a stakeholder this evening Chairman Galeotos said, “There is so much potential in downtown and with this new strategic plan we will work to dive into areas where we can make an impact.”

Mission: To create the infrastructure, environment and activity levels necessary to promote revitalization of downtown Cheyenne, and to maintain it as a viable, thriving area of commerce and services.

Strategic overview included the need to solve infrastructure issues, like the recent news with Z’s and other buildings. The need for residents and workers is also a primary strategy to improve downtown. Another area where they look to improve is to leverage existing events and create new events to keep visitors in the area and increase their spending. Place-making is an important factor for downtown development, atmosphere enhancements and better capabilities will be a continued strategy. Programs like the bike share, ice rink and the outdoor vendor opportunities, will be built upon. Lastly, improving communication is going to be an ongoing and important component towards gaining results and support. This includes sharing information directly to stakeholders but also doing a better job of promoting the downtown area and the businesses, as well as activities which reside in the area.

The Downtown Core (DDA/Mainstreet, Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce, Cheyenne LEADS and Visit Cheyenne) has worked towards improvements in downtown and one of them was to fully light 17th street. The DDA/Mainstreet organization plans to keep this momentum in their future plans.

“17th Street is the next big thing.” Chairman Galeotos explained.

When asked about the funding for the organization it was clarified, their hopes with the recent accomplishments of their strategic plan will provide them sustained funding in the City’s upcoming budget cycle.

A 2015 Freightliner Conventional was traveling eastbound on Interstate 80, when the vehicle began to experience mechanical issues. The driver pulled his combination unit over and parked in the emergency lane. A 2012 Volvo Conventional was also traveling eastbound in the right lane when the vehicle struck the rear of the broken down combination unit. The Volvo then crossed both eastbound lanes of travel and entered the median when the vehicle overturned and came to a rest on the passenger’s side. The driver of the Volvo was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash.

The driver of the Volvo has been identified as 32-year-old Rocklin, California resident Anatoliy Yakubovskiy. It is unknown at this time if he was wearing his seatbelt.

The driver of the Freightliner has been identified as 69-year-old Dallas, Texas resident Edward Jones Jr. He was transported to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and hospitalized for his injuries.

The Cheyenne Police Department arrested Matthew Dausman, 32, of Cheyenne, on January 29 after he assaulted several people including a CPD Sergeant. CPD Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 4500 block of Charles St. at about 11:00 a.m. where officers determined Dausman had unlawfully entered the residence and threatened his father, Ronald Dausman, with a knife.

​Matthew fled before officers arrived, but was located a short distance away, at Springer Ct. and Cleveland Ave. by a Cheyenne Police Department Sergeant. The sergeant contacted Dausman and Dausman charged at the sergeant, causing him to lose his balance and fall. Dausman fought with the sergeant, unsuccessfully attempting to disarm him by pulling on his holstered pistol and causing cuts and bruises to the sergeant in the process. The sergeant was able to maintain control of his pistol and detain Dausman until additional officers arrived. Dausman was subsequently arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary, aggravated assault for the events at the house and attempting to disarm a peace officer and aggravated assault on a police officer.

On Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at approximately 2139 hrs. Deputies from the Laramie County Sheriffs Department responded to the Taco Johns at 101 South Greeley Highway on the report of a robbery.

When deputies arrived employees from the Taco Johns were no longer in a back room as it was initially reported to Dispatch. It was reported by employees that a male walked into the establishment using the north door. The male approached the counter and ordered some food. The male was standing to the side of the front counter when he displayed an aluminum bat from the sleeve of the hooded sweatshirt he was wearing. The male demanded he be given the money from the cash drawer. The employee at the cash register told the male they needed to go to the back room to push a button. At that time the employee was able to tell another employee they were being robbed. It was a short time later the male with the bat left the store. No money was taken from the store and no one was hurt.

The male was described as a Hispanic male, 5’06”, wearing a blue hoody sweatshirt, dark pants, scraggly beard and possible a small scar on his lower left lip.

If anyone has any information regarding this suspect they are asked to call the Laramie County Sheriffs Department at 633-4775 or contact Silent Witness.

On Saturday, January 20th, Wyoming Highway Patrol Troopers were dispatched for an Attempt To Locate (ATL) involving a blue extended cab pickup with Washington state plates. Troopers were trying to locate the vehicle with an adult male transporting two juvenile females who were suspected of being in danger. The vehicle was believed to be en route from Washington to Kansas.

While Troopers across the state were looking for the vehicle, Troopers in Cheyenne were able to ascertain the suspect’s cell phone number and have it pinged to a location west of Green River, Wyoming. Trooper’s contacted both Little America Hotels in Wyoming and advised the managers of the hotels to keep a look out for the vehicle.

A short time later, the manager of the Little America Hotel west of Green River, spotted two teenage girls with the suspect and called WHP dispatch. Troopers and Sweetwater County Deputies responded and made contact with the suspect and the two teenage girls. After an interview was conducted and the vehicle was searched, it was discovered the suspect had items within the vehicle to aid him in assaulting the two teenage girls.

The two juveniles were taken into protective custody by Sweetwater County Deputies and the suspect was also taken into custody by Sweetwater County Sheriff Deputies. Sweetwater County detectives are currently involved in a multi-agency investigation with several Washington Law Enforcement agencies.

Thanks to a new community partnership, opportunities for high school students to find success have increased significantly.

Don’t Fumble: Tackle Drunk Driving Before the Game Starts

Kickoff on America’s favorite pastime is just about ready to start. For many football fans, when it’s time for Super Bowl LII, everyone’s a fan…and Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

In Cheyenne, law enforcement is reminding everyone, Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk to urge football fans not to drop the ball on this issue.

In Wyoming, drivers are considered alcohol-impaired if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. Drunk driving can be deadly, and even small amounts of alcohol can impair judgement to make driving unsafe. During 2016 in Wyoming, 28 % (32) of fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involving drunk drivers.

Nationally in 2016, among the 10,497 alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities, 67 percent (7,052) were in crashes in which at least one driver had a BAC of .15, almost twice the legal limit.

Be sure to have a game plan for the night so friends and family know who the designated driver is. “We want to encourage folks to turn over their keys to a sober driver, before they begin drinking,” said Chief Kozak “Impaired driving can result in serious crashes, injuries or death. If you don’t have an MVP to make sure folks get home safely, consider other ride options.”

Like Chief Kozak said, there are many other ways to ensure a safe ride home besides relying on a friend. The options include using public transportation, calling a taxi, or using a rideshare program such as Uber.

In addition, NHTSA’s SaferRide Mobile App, available in the app store, is another resource to help fans who have been drinking find a sober ride home—by identifying their location and helping to call a taxi or a friend to pick them up.

Sober designated drivers should be sure to carry the ball and refrain from drinking alcohol. Be sure your designated driver tweets @NHTSAgov during Super Bowl LII to be featured on NHTSA’s National Wall of Fame.

The Cheyenne Police Department, Wyoming Highway Patrol, Wyoming State Parks and Laramie County Sheriff’s Department will have a DUI task force out for this weekend.

This Super Bowl weekend, be a team player and help keep impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel. Don’t fumble! Designate your sober driver before the game begins. And remember: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

The Laramie County Community College Crossroads building is undergoing renovations to improve student engagement at the college.

The Crossroads Building has been vacant since January 2017 when the Clay Pathfinder Building opened. During the 2017 fall semester, there was a forum held by LCCC, as well as the project architects, Hord Coplan Macht, where students gave feedback of what they would like to see be included in this area.

A lot of the feedback included students wanting a place to engage with others and a space to do work.

“The purpose of this project was to create a student collaboration and engagement center,” LCCC’s vice president of administration and finance, Rick Johnson said. This project is estimated to cost $850,000 and “it can’t, by state statute, hit a $1 million or it requires legislative approval,” Johnson said. 

The renovations will be funded by student fees from the student fee fund balance. The new area will be called the Student Engagement and Collaboration Center. Within the renovations, there will be an area for student collaboration. This
includes multiple seating areas, a fireplace, as well as a theatre area with a television. There will be a computer lab in the same room as the IT help desk, which is currently in the Fine Arts Building. There is also a self-service community café included in this renovation that will have kitchen essentials, as well as lockers that students can program to use during the day.

There will be a space for high school students as well, who are involved in programs at LCCC that help “introduce them to the college environment,” Johnson said.

The Student Veterans Association will have a space in the Crossroads Building too. The Student Government Association, Phi Theta Kappa and the Campus Activities Board will move to this area as well; however, that space is not included in the renovations.

The Wyoming Community College Commission will decide the final approval on Feb. 22.
