Wyomissing Police Respond to Over 20 Incidents on January 4

On January 4, 2026, officers from the Wyomissing Police Department managed over 20 diverse incidents throughout the borough, addressing a range of issues from traffic violations to domestic disturbances. The day began with hazardous conditions caused by icy roads, which resulted in multiple tractor-trailers becoming stranded.

Morning Response to Icy Conditions and Traffic Violations

Just after midnight, police responded to reports of icy conditions along Ramp K near Route 422. Officers closed the ramp until crews from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) arrived to treat the roadway. In the same area, an electronic sign indicating a curve ahead was found damaged, prompting additional reports of property damage.

During the early hours, officers conducted several traffic stops, issuing warnings and citations for violations such as expired registrations, driving without headlights, and failure to signal. In one incident near Penn Avenue and Bern Road, police reported a passenger was found in possession of marijuana, which was subsequently confiscated.

At approximately 2:16 a.m., officers attended to a report of a woman behaving erratically on Penn Avenue. Despite appearing intoxicated, she declined medical treatment and was taken home by officers.

Domestic Disputes and Additional Calls

Later in the morning, police were dispatched to investigate a physical domestic dispute on Penn Avenue. Upon arrival, the male participant had already left, and the female complainant opted not to pursue further assistance. Throughout the day, police also conducted welfare checks, assisted Shillington Police with a protection-from-abuse order, and addressed a disorderly conduct complaint involving a previously banned individual.

In the afternoon, officers reported a late hit-and-run incident on Route 222 near Crossing Drive, resulting in no injuries and no need for vehicle towing. Police also responded to a false burglar alarm on State Hill Road, handled multiple animal-related calls, and dealt with a tragic incident involving a vehicle striking a dog on a Route 222 ramp.

As evening approached, officers continued their work with traffic stops, parking complaints, and a disabled vehicle along Penn Avenue. A 911 hang-up call was later determined to be accidental. The day concluded with a report of an automatic fire alarm on Park Road North, which was attributed to burnt food by personnel from the Wyomissing Fire Department.
