11/14 - A woman who was reportedly harassing customers at Jack’s 4-Corners gas station for a ride only left the station when a tribal officer arrived as a customer. A Grand Coulee officer spoke to the woman, who had walked down the street, and thought she had only been barred earlier from Jack’s Spring Canyon gas station. She was forbidden from entering all three Jack’s gas stations in the area.

- A woman on Coulee Boulevard said her boyfriend had choked her during an argument, then left with a friend after the three had been drinking. An officer found two men on Midway Avenue. The boyfriend said his girlfriend had been hitting him and that he did hold her down to keep her from hitting him. The friend was so intoxicated that he was unintelligible to the officer, who thought he was trying to say the argument wasn’t physical. With no physical evidence of assault, and all parties considered to have been intoxicated, no arrests were made, and the two friends were told to stay away from the woman’s home.
