A complainant called 911 after observing the man sitting in his vehicle while pumping gas with a band around his arm and a needle in his forearm. Officers arrived and observed the man to be slumped over in the vehicle with a belt secured around his arm. He was arrested on warrants for controlled substance violations and other outstanding violations. He was transported to LLPD, where a blood warrant was procured and executed. Upon search of his vehicle, he was found to be in possession of stolen property from a burglary that took place earlier in the month.

HIGHLIGHTED CALLS
Unauthorized burning - Just after 3 p.m. Nov. 22, SVFD crews were dispatched to the 1700 block of South Liberty Drive in response to a possible illegal burn. Crews found the homeowner illegally burning a pile of pine needles. The homeowner was apologetic and unaware of the ongoing Spokane County restriction on burning yard waste at any time. The homeowner extinguished the fire. A second call came in about 10 minutes later, also reporting the same fire. 

Structure fire - SVFD crews responded to a drive-by report of flames on the side of a home in the 18700 block of East Marlin Drive shortly after 7:30 p.m. Nov. 26. Crews found a single-wide mobile home on fire with flames spreading quickly from the front to the rest of the home. The occupant and dogs escaped unharmed. The home was completely destroyed, including about $80,000 worth of motorcycles parked inside. The fire was believed to have been started by a 55-gallon drum being used as a fireplace just outside the home.

Motor vehicle accident - SVFD crews responded to a one car accident at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 28 at 21200 East Country Vista Drive. A minivan had driven through a fence and landscaping surrounding a parking lot at the Country Vista Apartments. The driver was removed from the vehicle on a backboard and transported to the hospital. The cause of the accident is unknown.   

Steep angle technical rescue - A hunter in the woods behind the 3200 block of North Rocky Hill Lane fell in the steep terrain and became trapped at about 4:15 p.m. Nov. 29. SVFD crews were called to the scene and performed a steep angle technical rescue, with the assistance of the landowner in his pickup truck. The hunter was transported to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation.
