Police Report
2/25/2015 1:03:11 PM

The following items were reported by the Liberty Lake Police Department from Jan. 25 to Feb. 23. They are listed in chronological order. 

INCIDENTS AND ARRESTS
Malicious mischief - At 2:22 p.m. Jan. 25, LLPD responded to the 1700 block of North Aladdin Road after a man reported that a male in a green vehicle had pulled up to him and asked, "how's your car running?" The complainant didn't think much of it at the time, but a short while later a tire fell off his vehicle. He was advised by the tow truck operator that someone had loosened his lug nuts. 

Suspicious couple - At 12:30 p.m. Jan. 27, LLPD received a report from the 1100 block of North Tanglewood Lane that a young couple had looked at the basement area being rented out by a local woman. Upon their departure, the woman researched the couple and learned they were involved in multiple burglaries and thefts in the area. Officers were notified and performed extra patrols in the area.

DV arrest - A 33-year-old Liberty Lake man was arrested at 8:37 p.m. Jan. 27 at the 1900 block of North Sedge Lane for domestic violence assault. A woman reported she and her husband were fighting, and he had slammed her arm in the door. The man was cited for assault, but was not booked into the Spokane County Jail due to a medical issue.

Theft - At 7:47 a.m. Feb. 4, LLPD responded to the 1800 block of North Pepper Lane for a theft. A man reported staying at the location overnight and upon leaving in the morning found that his work truck had been entered and various tools and items had been taken from the tool box. Total estimated loss is $1,228.

Stuffed theft - At 5:26 p.m. Feb. 5, LLPD responded to a report of a theft at the 1600 block of North Winrock Street. A man reported someone had stolen a $300 stuffed gorilla off his porch. 

Assault arrest - A 32-year-old Liberty Lake woman was arrested at 2:26 a.m. Feb. 6 at the 24000 block of East Spotted Owl Lane for assault. Witnesses observed the woman strike a victim in the face close to 10 times. As she was being placed in the patrol vehicle, she proceeded to kick the officer in the legs. Once in the vehicle, she began kicking the passenger door with enough force the officer stopped the vehicle, and two deputies arrived with leg restraints. After being restrained and belted in, she was transported to an area hospital for evaluation. Shortly after, she was cleared and booked into Spokane County Jail for assault. 

Dual arrest - A man picking up his child from a residence on North Garry Road dialed 911 after an argument escalated over tax money, resulting in the Feb. 6 arrest of two Liberty Lake women, ages 25 and 46.  The arrest took place at 3:29 p.m. The 25-year-old woman was reportedly demanding tax money and shut the door on part of the complainant's body as he was attempting to exit the home. The man proceeded to his vehicle, and as he was backing out of the driveway, the same woman reportedly stood behind, blocking him. She then reportedly started to hit her arm and say, "look mom, he's hitting me." At this point, the man got out his cell phone and began recording the incident. As he placed his phone on the passenger seat of the vehicle, the 46-year-old woman reportedly opened the door, reached in and grabbed the phone, walking away from the vehicle. The man reportedly got out of the vehicle and tried to get his phone back, but the older woman handed it to the younger, who proceeded to run into the home, locking the door. The 46-year-old woman then yelled, "delete the video," which was later confirmed by neighbors who witnessed the incident. The 25-year-old woman was booked into jail for assault, and the 46-year-old was cited for theft. 

Assault arrest - A 30-year-old Spokane man was arrested at 9:13 p.m. Feb. 6 at the 1300 block of North Liberty Lake Road for assault with a knife.
