Coulee Cops

Grand Coulee Police

5/24 - A King Street man complained that a black dog comes to his yard each morning and pees in his yard and sometimes on his tractor. Police said they needed to see the dog in his yard in order for them to do anything.

- A road construction sign was blown by the wind into a woman’s car on Main Street. Police observed scratches on the car with the damage estimated to be under $1,000.

- A Cardinal Road man reported his daughter’s bicycle had been stolen, and described it for police. A neighbor said he saw a man with a bicycle that he normally didn’t have. Police went to where that man lived on Yakima Street and “bluffed” him, saying they knew he had the bike, rather than asking him. The man admitted he did have it, saying a woman gave it to him because it was in her yard. He gave it to police who “blissfully” walked it back to the rightful owner, according to the police report.

5/25 - Les Schwab reported a hole had been punched in the fuel tank of one of their service trucks, losing about $120 worth of fuel and the currently unknown cost to repair the fuel tank.
