The Arida family hosted its 43rd annual Christmas tree giveaway on Wednesday, Dec. 24, honoring the memories of David Arida and Mike Kollmar.

A caller reported a man driving recklessly, cutting off other vehicles and speeding, and requested that the driver be advised. Patrols contacted the subject, who explained he was coming from a Christmas party and did not believe his driving was reckless, though he apologized if it appeared that way. He stated he would be staying in for the night with his kids to watch Stranger Things, presumably at a much slower pace. Patrols observed no vehicle damage, no signs of intoxication, and no suspicious activity. No further issues were noted.
