7/8 - Items stolen from a Grand Coulee Avenue storage unit included a Hoyt bow, axes, older video game systems, DVDs, and hunting gear. 

7/10 - A Dill Avenue man was arrested and taken to jail for assault following an incident in which he allegedly pushed his wife during an argument, and she fell and broke her wrist.

- A man driving a motorcycle hit a pothole on Spokane Way, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle. He suffered some road rash on his arm from the accident. Police collected many details and noted the pothole was only marked by some white paint. An officer placed an orange cone there so the pothole would stick out more. The man estimated the damage to his motorcycle to be around $6,000. Family and friends were able to help him load it onto a trailer and to get it out of the roadway. He went to the hospital afterwards to have his injuries looked at. Police were allowed to take pictures of the injuries.

7/12 - A Roosevelt Drive resident told police she let a man borrow her paint sprayer for a job then later saw it on Facebook Marketplace. She said she could identify it because of purple paint on it. She said she would try to contact someone about getting it back.

- Water was leaking through the ceiling into a Continental Heights apartment. The property manager was contacted and responded to the location. Police then ended their involvement in the situation.

7/13 - Police helped in a Child Protective Services situation in which two children were taken from their mother because she wasn’t letting the assigned monitor for monitored visits be in her residence as required.

- Police checked on the wellbeing of a Wenatchee Avenue man and found him to be alive and well. He had just got off of the phone with his daughter who had been the concerned party.

- Police checked on an elderly man lying in the grass of a city park. The man was fine and calm and didn’t need assistance, explaining that he lived nearby. Police explained the park was closed at night.

7/14 - An unoccupied Dill Avenue home was boarded up and kicked in, then a padlocked bedroom door was kicked in. Over $100 in makeup was stolen and other personal items. A neighbor saw a person on a bike in the area and heard banging but didn’t know who to talk to at the time. A few days later, the owner told police that others living on the property, including in a shed, had all left. Shoes that had been stolen were found in the shed, which was in something of a state of disarray. Police told her to secure the shed to help prevent further burglaries. She also reported that a box of 1980s-era baseball cards had also been stolen.

7/15 - An officer assisted Grant County Sheriff’s Office by going to a residence outside of Electric City along SR-155 where an alarm had been activated. The homeowners, who were out of town, didn’t see anything suspicious on their security cameras. The officer checked the windows and doors at the residence and found everything to be secure and relayed that information to the alarm company. Later, the homeowner contacted police and said he returned home to find that his Goldwing motorcycle had been rolled out of its trailer, tools were scattered about, and the keys to the motorcycle were apparently stolen.
