Police respond to reported home invasion. Arrests made.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In the early morning hours of June 12, officers with the Riverton Police Department responded to a report of a home invasion at a house in the area of Walnut & Adams. Initial information indicated that three individuals forcibly entered a residence, confronted the occupants, and assaulted one of the homeowners. The homeowner subsequently retrieved a firearm and called 911, at which point the suspects fled the residence in a vehicle.

Responding officers located a truck matching the description provided by witnesses traveling at a high rate of speed in the area and conducted a traffic stop. The occupants of the vehicle were detained and interviewed. During the investigation, two individuals (juveniles) were arrested on unrelated charges.

Officers continued their investigation by interviewing the homeowners and obtaining descriptions of the suspects involved in the incident. Those descriptions were consistent with the individuals who had been detained during the traffic stop. The assaulted homeowner reported sustaining minor injuries.
Based on information gathered during the investigation, officers believe this was a targeted incident involving an ongoing feud and that there is no ongoing threat to the general public. The investigation remains active, and additional charges may be forthcoming.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Riverton Police Department at (307) 856-4891.

Busy Week expected for 1st Responders - This week is expected to be busy for our 1st responders. Warm temperatures will increase potential for fire related calls plus the Carnival and many other city events throughout this week.

Please pull over for emergency vehicles, report anything suspicious immediately, be sure to alert your local dispatch center of planned brush-clearing/burning so our volunteer off-duty firefighters aren't unnecessarily having to leave their paid jobs for false alarms.
