NOV. 5: A wife became upset when she learned that her husband was planning to divorce her. When police arrived, they were told that she had a sick child and hadn’t slept well. Both individuals had argued and she called 911 by accident. However, on November 12 the police were called for a domestic violence 911 that involved the wife biting her husband (although no bite marks were found) while she was making plane reservations and holding their 2-year-old son. She said that she didn’t want a divorce and was offered several options by the police. She denied calling 911. She went from being calm and polite to frustrated, upset and emotional. The police remained while the husband picked up some clothes and toiletries and left for an R & R.

NOV. 9: A Nissan Maxima was paced at 75-80 mph on Hwy. 203. When the driver opened his door, the smell of intoxicants and lots of smoke came forth. The vehicle had a Nevada license that had been suspended. He was arrested for the license violation and the vehicle was impounded.

NOV. 9: Fraud. A bad check was used on Oct. 28 to pay a $70 restaurant bill in Carnation. One of the employees recognized the suspect as being her daughter’s neighbor. The phone number on the check belonged to the landlord along with an incorrect address. The suspect had no valid driver’s license and proceeded to make a scene in the restaurant about their reluctance in accepting personal checks.

The manager accepted the check after taking down all pertinent information. However, the check bounced like a volleyball when the bank said the account hadn’t been active for 6-8 weeks. Negative results occurred when seeking contact with the suspect.

NOV. 10: Seen on Tolt Ave. around 9:13 in the morning was a male with what appeared to be a shotgun or rifle leading two other individuals up the street. The two schools were put on lockdown and patrol car and foot officers checked out the east area between the schools. The suspects were then seen going into a residence on Tolt Ave. When questioned, all three juveniles said they had no weapons. However, during a quick check of the residence an air rifle with a long black barrel with a wood stock was located. It turned out to be a toy gun. The juveniles said they were just play-acting outside. It was explained to them the danger of walking around town with a realistic toy gun. The toy was confiscated and the father came to get it. Schools opened for business again.

NOV. 14: A non-injury accident occurred in the area of Main off Woodinville-Duvall Rd. A Cadman dump truck and a Mustang tangled. The truck was attempting to back so he could make the turn when he made contact with the Mustang. The Mustang driver was mad and was not reluctant to voice his opinion.

NOV. 14: A 1988 Toyota Tercel met up with an immovable object in the form of a telephone pole. Severe damage occurred to the front of the vehicle. A witness said that the driver had crossed the center line and drove directly into the pole. There were no skid marks and no sign of impaired driving and no damage to the pole. But, he was sleep deprived and took it out on the pole. An aid unit arrived and transported the driver to the Monroe Hospital.

NOV. 14: A driver was noted as not using his seat belt. He said his driver’s license was not on him. He apparently forgot that he didn’t even have one. Running his ID through dispatch revealed that he was a suspect in a shoplifting case that day. A female passenger said that the car belongd to her girlfriend’s parents. Dispatch showed she had a warrant out of Redmond and one out of Yakima. He got cited for no license and she was handcuffed and taken into custody.
