Olmsted County Criminal Convictions - Year to Date (2008)
Posted July 4th, 2008 - Category: Rochester News
The latest criminal conviction data for Olmsted County (Jan 1-Mar 31, 2008) shows some expected results, and has a few surprises.
As is normally the case, convictions in Olmsted County, and also through the state of MN, have convictions for Driving While Impaired topping the charts at 224 (36.4%). Trailing behind that is the various types of drug charges (1st through 5th degree) combined at a total of 67 convictions (10.8%), and Domestic Assaults coming in 3rd with 39 (6.3%).
(*Note* These numbers came from roughly generalizing some of these categories together to get an overall picture. See specific data below)
What did surprise me was already this year we have had four convictions for Criminal Vehicular Homicide and thirteen for Criminal Vehicular Injury. Perhaps these are more typical than I realized, but I certainly didn’t expect it.
Then there was the various “Tampering with a witness”, “Solicit Juvenile”, and “Escape from Custody” thrown in just to make things interesting.
