Springville honors 4 officers during city council meeting
The following report was written by Terry Schrimscher of the Trussville Tribune. SPRINGVILLE, Ala. (TRIBUNE) – The Springville Police Department opened Monday's council meeting with presentations to four officers. Chief Wayne Walton made the presentations aided by Councilors Austin Phillips and Herbert Toles. First, Walton presented a letter of appreciation to Officer Dave Weal for completing Mental Health and Crisis Intervention Training. Weal was recognized for utilizing his training to assist an individual in distress. 'Your actions have not only changed one life but also inspired those around you to become more aware, more responsive to the needs of individuals facing mental health crisis,' Walton said in the presentation. 'Officer Weal's dedication to ongoing education and training ensures that we are better equipped to serve and protect all members of our community, especially those experiencing mental health crises,' Walton added in a written statement. 'His professionalism and compassion make a true difference in the lives of those in need.' Next, Walton introduced Cpl. Kevin Thompson, Officer Curtis Pippin, and Officer Carter Pardue, and recognized them for their actions during an emergency call in February which resulted in saving the life of a teen suffering from a gunshot wound. They recently completed a Stop Bleed Training which helped prepare them for the situation. Shelley Rawlings, representing the office of the city attorney, read a resolution from Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth and the Alabama Senate. The officers were recognized with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Lifesaving Award and presented copies of the resolution. Walton noted that the ALEA Lifesaving Award is one of the top five awards an officer can earn in the state. 'The dedication and professionalism displayed by Cpl. Thompson, Officer Pippin, and Officer Pardue exemplify the very best of law enforcement,' said Walton in a statement. 'Their quick thinking and preparedness directly contributed to saving a young life, and we are incredibly proud of their actions.' The council then conducted two public hearings on zoning issues. The first hearing was a discussion on an ordinance rezoning property at 135 Pine Street from a residential R-1 to business B-1. The second hearing was an ordinance to rezone 170 Mills Ferris Lane from RE to A-1. The ordinance for Mills Ferris Lane was carried over to a future meeting so council members can better evaluate the situation. The ordinance to rezone 135 Pine Street was amended to restrict the type of business and future paving requirements. The Pine Street ordinance was approved unanimously with the amended restrictions. The next meeting of the Springville City Council will be held at 6 p.m. on June 2 with a work session at 5:30 p.m. prior to the meeting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Woman arrested for prostitution in Springville massage studio bust
SPRINGVILLE, Utah (ABC4) — One person was arrested in a police search of a Springville massage studio Friday, according to police. Police executed a search warrant on a massage studio located at 1190 North Spring Creek Place, arresting one woman for prostitution, according to the Springville Police Department. Authorities say they conducted the search after hearing of illegal, 'non-traditional massage services' being offered at the place of business and surveilling it for some time. While one woman has been arrested, police say the person who led the illegal practices is still unknown. 'This is obviously a lot bigger than our arrestee so it is a continued investigation into who dunnit,' police wrote in a casual social media post. Police suggested anyone who has frequented the massage studio contact them 'before we reach out to you.' The investigation into the business is ongoing. This is not the first massage studio that's been searched along the Wasatch Front in recent months. Earlier this year, Roy police raided four massage parlors as part of a human trafficking investigation. In February, Lehi police arrested two people for allegedly running a massage business as a 'front for a commercial sex operation.' And last year, a man was arrested after police said he ran a prostitution ring in a West Valley massage parlor.
