Because of all of you, we have decided to replace the cop car!

***Original Post***

Many of you have noticed the old police car parked near Echo Lake Cafe over the last year and a half.

What many people don't know is why it was there.

On December 1, 2024, a fatal drunk driving accident occurred directly in front of our restaurant. Like so many in our community, we were deeply affected by what happened. That evening, after leaving the scene, sitting at home trying to process the tragedy, we kept asking ourselves the same question: "Could anything have prevented it?"

The only answer we could come up with was that perhaps a visible police presence might have encouraged the drunk driver to slow down and think twice before making dangerous decisions.

A week later, we purchased a retired police car and parked it along the highway. Whether it made a difference or not, we felt it was a small way to encourage safer driving as well as pay tribute to Wyatt, Teressa, her daughter and all their friends and family.

For over a year, it sat there without incident.

June 2, 2026 that changed.

The vehicle was extensively vandalized. Every tire was slashed, every window was broken, the headlights, taillights and mirrors were smashed, the doors were heavily damaged and carved into, hateful words were carved into the hood, and much more. If it could be broken, it was.

Through audio and video provided we believe those responsible are a group of teenage boys. One most likely lives down Echo Lake Rd as they came and went from there multiple times. Parents, please asks your kids if they have heard anything. While the footage will be helpful, the fastest way to finding out who is responsible is if someone comes forward with information.

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement.
