WA: not so bad boys, bad boys

As much attention as we criminal defense people have paid to goings-on in Grant County, things are comparatively low-key in the northern-most corner of the county (including a sliver of Douglas County), by the Grand Coulee Dam. Here's a recent crime report from the Star of Grand Coulee:

Coulee Cops

- A 19-year-old man, who had been arrested in Grand Coulee a week earlier for not having a driver's license, was arrested in Coulee Dam on the same charge. He told officers that he had been driving a lot since his first arrest. He was charged, released and his vehicle impounded...

- Police tried to stop a car that had a faulty brake light but had to follow it all the way down the Coulee Dam hill and across the bridge before it pulled over. As the officer approached the vehicle another car pulled into the area and a woman got out and yelled "my daughter didn't do anything to get pulled over." Police advised the woman to get back in her car, and she left the scene. The officer recognized the driver..., gave her a verbal warning on the brake light, and cited her for the insurance and registration violations. She refused to sign the ticket... At that time the other woman re-appeared, shouting "discrimination and harassment" at passing cars. The subject finally signed the infraction and she was released...

- Police responded to a complaint that two dogs, one a pit bull, were trying to get into a woman's yard on Grand Coulee Ave. She told police that the dogs bared their teeth and appeared dangerous. When police responded they found the two dogs wandering loose and both seemed to be friendly...

- A woman was stopped for going 35 mph in a 20 mph zone and explained that she was in a hurry to get to work. She was issued a ticket and advised to stop at the stop sign next time. She replied, "well slap my hand this morning." Then she said, "Thank you and have a good morning..."
