DUI in ditch, child-abuse call listed in Graham County blotter

Graham County’s Wednesday blotter included two incidents: a DUI involving a ditch and a child-abuse call.

The entries were listed as part of the county’s Wednesday public-safety activity. The DUI entry connects impaired driving with a vehicle or incident in a ditch. The child-abuse entry concerns a call alleging child abuse.

What the blotter lists

The two incidents are separate entries. The blotter does not, in the information published here, establish that an arrest, criminal charge or court case followed either call.

A blotter entry is a record of reported activity. It is not a finding that a person committed a crime, and a call or allegation does not establish guilt.

What happens next

Any DUI case would move through the law-enforcement and court processes that apply to the incident. A child-abuse call may be reviewed by the appropriate authorities under state law. The Wednesday entries alone do not state the outcome of either matter.
