Police

11/7 - A woman at the Hill Avenue apartments reported a boy threw a bottle at her window. No damage was caused. The boy’s mother said he knew better and isn’t allowed near the other woman’s apartment. 

11/10 - A woman driving a blue Honda Element was heading west on SR-174 and neglected to yield to a man driving a green Mazda driving north on SR-155, striking him at the four-corners intersection on the passenger side, causing damage to the passenger side mirror and door. 

- A woman at the Center Lodge motel reported that while she was outside smoking, another woman, whom she identified, was throwing patio chairs around. She yelled at her to stop, but the woman continued to before walking south. A Les Schwab employee told police that the woman who had been throwing chairs had been there requesting sexual favors from an employee. Police eventually found the woman at Safeway, playing with a broken disabled parking sign. The woman spoke in an incoherent, rambling style to police, requesting a hug from an officer who told her he doesn’t give hugs. That officer pointed to the other officer present and said that he does give hugs. The woman wasn’t interested in a hug from that officer, she was far more interested in the other officer, the police report states. The woman was told she was banned from the Center Lodge for throwing the chairs, and also to stay away from Les Schwab. 

11/12 - A man at the Continental Heights apartments said another man there pushed him and he wanted police to talk to him. That man said he asked the man to leave his apartment, and when he didn’t, pushed him out the door. The two were told to avoid each other if they couldn’t get along.

11/13 - A man on Main Street argued with a woman who was parking on his property. The woman did move her car prior to police arrival. Police advised her against parking there in the future. She said she parked there to look at the water while talking to a friend.

11/14 - Someone reported a man prowling three vehicles on Hill Avenue. Police didn’t find a man in the area. The owner of the vehicles told police she didn’t find anything to be missing.

11/15 - A woman was upset about her things missing from a Coulee Boulevard storage unit. She wasn’t sure if she’d missed any rent payments on the storage unit and said she would call the owner. She said she hadn’t looked at the unit for quite a while and had rented it for years. The officer told her it would be unusual for a thief to take every item out of a storage unit.
