Driving Under the Influence: Officers on a routine patrol noticed a vehicle driving southbound around 9:30 p.m. on 214th Avenue East and was missing all of its lights on one side. The vehicle then turned into a store’s parking lot and parked next to another parked car with passengers in it. The driver along with two other passengers exited the vehicle and officers activated their overhead lights. Officers noticed the drivers eyes were glassy and bloodshot and could smell a strong odor of alcohol even though the driver denied drinking. He agreed to field sobriety tests and according to the police report, he did not pass the four tests he took. As officers arrested him, he became loud and failed to comply. Prior to backup arriving, the two passengers from the vehicle began to interfere and become combative. The driver was transported to the Bonney Lake Police Department for further testing.

Forgery and Fraud: Officers responded to a SR 410 grocery store to the report that a male subject had just used what appeared to be a fake identification and check to purchase a total of $72.89 in merchandise. When officers arrived on scene, they spoke with the reporting party and the cashier who had helped the male subject. They told officers, the male wrote a check for the items and provided a paper license as identification. The cashier believed it to be a fake and checked with the reporting party, who agreed. When the cashier returned to ask the subject to step aside and speak with the reporting party, the subject left the store. A few hours later, officers returned to the store because the two workers believed the male subject had returned. They were unable to positively identify the man and he was released from the scene. Officers attempted contact with the name on the license but were unable to.
