Police

11/2 - Police responded to an alarm at the Electric City shop as did a county sheriff’s deputy. The city superintendent was inside and said no one else was there. It was unclear what had set off the alarm.

- A man on Kelso reported that a woman the officer knew the man had been living together had thrown a piece of firewood at him and was refusing to leave. She claimed he’d stolen her car and taken her items from it to the inside of the house and she wanted them back. The officer convinced the man to get her those items. Once she had them, she left. So did police.

11/9 – A woman on Main Street reported her vehicle had been stolen by her roommate’s friend. As police were enroute, she called back to say it had been returned and she didn’t have anything to report.

- Police took a granddaughter to jail on a domestic violence charge after a fight that reportedly started after a soda drink fell out of the fridge and exploded on the floor, leading to a fight. The grandmother looked worse, and a witness believed the granddaughter was the primary aggressor.

11/12 – A man knocked on the front door of an Electric City man who didn’t know him, stating that his wife was missing. The man, who looked confused, told police he’d moved in across the street three days prior. While the officer was checking his phone for contacts, the man’s daughter called and told police she was the “missing” woman’s daughter and that her mother had died eight years ago. At the request of the officer, she came to escort her father home.

11/13 – An officer tagged three vehicles on various streets for 24-hour removal after seeing their registrations had expired in 2021.

11/14 – Police spoke with a man about whom a caller was concerned after she saw him fall down on Grand Coulee Avenue West. He was too dirty to be allowed into one person’s car, but another person had him in his vehicle to give him a ride home. The subject said he didn’t need help from police.
