The man was picked up and taken to Grant County Jail on a warrant that had been issued for his arrest.

- A woman on Young Street was advised that she needed to have her dogs licensed and that she could legally only have two dogs in the city. The officer was called to the area on a complaint of dogs barking.

- A man on Sunny Drive in Electric City advised police that someone had thrown two syringes on his property.

She was advised to lock her doors when she left the house.

6/2 - A Canadian wearing a turban and talking on his cellphone at the park below the Visitor Center was asked if he was enjoying the view of the dam. He said he thought it was Hoover Dam and was told that Hoover Dam was a long way south of there. He said he was headed back to Canada.

6/3- A man who had been treated in the emergency room and was waiting for a ride outside will receive a citation in the mail for fourth-degree assault and is banned from the hospital grounds unless seeking treatment. He allegedly made inflammatory remarks to a woman and her daughter and then grabbed the woman’s arm, threatening her. It was all caught on security tape.

- A man received a handful of charges after being stopped for not having a license plate on his vehicle.

- Police responded to a domestic dispute on Bowen Street and found that a man had been locked out of his house by his wife. The story was that the two had been in Spokane the day before celebrating his wife’s birthday when they got in an argument over a phone call he received. The cops were called and the woman was advised to leave, so she returned to Grand Coulee, leaving her husband in the city. When he got back, the argument spilled over and 911 was called. The man agreed to stay the night elsewhere while the two settled down. She was asked if she wanted a New Hope packet, and she said no because she was one of their counselors.

Coulee Dam

Police

6/1 - There was a lot of name calling going on at town hall as a man protested late charges on his utility bill. He had made only partial payments, and late charges had been added. He reportedly called town staff a lot of unkind names and stormed out of the building. Police asked if the staff wanted the man banned from the building. They said they would think about it.

6/2 - A man on Tulip Street told police that he heard a woman scream from a nearby residence. Since the party in question was Native American, and the incident occurred on Trust property, police referred the matter to Tribal Police.

- Police stopped a vehicle that hadn’t stopped at the intersection of Sixth and Cedar. The male driver tried unsuccessfully to convince the officer that he had stopped.
