Police

11/13 - A driver was given a speeding ticket for going 55 mph in the 35-mph zone on SR-174 near F Street.

- A Division St. woman reported a vehicle prowl on her convertible, where she believes someone was trying to detach the rear window from the fabric of the roof. She believes it happened on Halloween when she recalls a vehicle speeding off when she went to get her mail.

- A man reported a cut padlock on the ground near an enclosed utility trailer that was parked at his shop. The owner had previously removed his motorbikes, which the shop owner thought could have been stolen, and there was no further evidence or leads.

- A tow notice was placed on a Geo Metro with expired registration parked on Fortuyn Road on city property.

11/14 - A Roosevelt Drive woman reported a neighbor lighting fires on an old car. An officer observed two camp stoves near the old car, but no people. The woman said she was nervous about people squatting at the neighbor’s house.

11/15 - There was name calling and arm flailing by a man and a woman who smelled of alcohol during an argument on Grand Ave. The officer told the people involved to sleep it off.

11/16 - A man was taken to Grant County Jail on warrants after being pulled over near Coulee Medical Center for having an improperly lit license plate.

- An alarm went off at B Street Bud. All doors and windows were secured, no one was near, and the alarm reset itself.

- There was an electrical fire on a power pole on Electric Blvd. The man who reported the fire said that he heard loud pops he thought were gunshots, but then his lights started to flicker. An officer watched a red glow on the pole turn to flames and, once firefighters arrived, left.

- An officer heard a loud explosion that turned out to be a blown transformer on Weil Pl. Grant Public Utility District was informed about the transformer.

- A tow notice was placed on a Honda with expired tabs parked on the corner of Roosevelt and Knute.

11/17 - A pry bar was collected as evidence from a Coulee Blvd business where someone broke into the laundry room and attempted to take coins from the washer and dryer, but only got the coins from one.

- A citizen reported a domestic violence situation at the local library. No one could be found upon the officer’s arrival. The librarian said she heard some yelling outside, but that whoever it was didn’t come into the library.

11/18 - A burglar alarm went off at a Martin Road residence, where police found no open doors or windows. A dog was barking inside the residence. Police were unable to contact the owners.

- A Good St. man returned home to find his truck had been damaged at the bed, with tail-light pieces laying on the ground, the result of a cold hit and run.

Coulee Dam

Police

11/13 - A man attempted to cash a $7,000 check at the credit union. The bank called the woman whom the check was supposedly from, but she said she had not written the check, and that her purse had been stolen in October. The man was not allowed to cash the check, and video surveillance will be given to the police. The man had allegedly also used the woman’s debit card to withdraw money from an automated teller machine at Harvest Foods, and at the casino, withdrawing $1,000 at one point, and attempting to withdraw $3,000 at another time.

11/14 - An officer told a woman to report damage to her vehicle to her insurance company. The woman said her car had been keyed and hit while parked on Civic Way. The officer’s report said there was about $500 in damage, but that there were no suspects, and the damage couldn’t have all been done while she was parked, maybe just some of the damage.

- There was an accident at Spokane and Columbia when a Ford Fusion backed into the side of a parked Chevy Silverado. The owner of the Chevy wasn’t in the car, but was trying to help the Ford driver park along the street. The Ford driver lost concentration and backed into the Chevy causing an estimated $1,600 damage to the Ford, and $1,200 in damage to the Chevy.

11/15 - A vehicle parked at the gas station was reported abandoned. An officer told a clerk at the station that if the vehicle was not gone by the following evening, it could be removed. The vehicle was gone later when the officer checked.
