Grand Coulee

Police

11/12 - Kent street residents were told to stop burning yard debris within city limits. They extinguished their fire.

- Several juveniles were reported to have broken into the former Center School on Spokane Way. Three of them said they were told the school was a good place to play hide and seek. They said they did not break in, but had walked in through an unlocked door. Their parent/guardians were contacted. The owners didn’t wish to press charges.

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.

- Investigating reports of lights in the water of Crescent Bay, possibly a vehicle, an officer found only lights reflecting off the water.

- Four storage units along Coulee Boulevard had the locks cut off them. Two were empty. The owner of one said their belongings were still there, and the contents of the other, mostly tools, appeared to still be there.

- An estimated $1,000 in damage was caused to a woman’s Hyundai while parked at Safeway. Police told her to get an estimate for the damage from an auto shop and to drop it off with police when it was done.

11/15 - A German shepherd dog running at large ran off toward the grain silos near SR-174, eluding police.

- 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.

11/18 - A Grand Avenue man was punched in his nose, allegedly by his brother, who left before police arrived and is facing assault charges.

- USBR Plant Protection reported a man urinating into a water fountain near the restrooms in the lower area at the Visitor Center at Grand Coulee Dam. A man in the area said that he didn’t do it and also didn’t see anyone.
