ANIMAL TRAPPED: Officers were dispatched to a residential address to address a trespass and theft report on April 21. The reporting party told officers her neighbor came onto her property to remove a cat trap containing a cat and took it to his residence. Officers were advised by animal control that any residence is allowed to bait and trap animals on their property, including pets. The reporting party claimed she was highly allergic to cats and doesn’t want them on her property, which is why she trapped the cat. The trap was returned to the reporting party and the cat to the owner. Officers forwarded a charge of theft to the City of Bonney Lake prosecutor.
FALSE IDENTITY: Officers pulled over a car with expired tabs on April 21.The driver identified himself to officers but didn’t have a drivers license, proof of insurance or registration for the vehicle, claiming it was his brother’s car.Officers also noticed the car’s title had not been transferred after it was sold to the current driver. When officers started asking the driver questions, the driver could not answer simple questions about his identity. Officers performed a record check on the drivers identity and learned how tall the person was. After asking the driver to step out of the vehicle, officers noticed the driver was several inches shorter than he should have been. Officers then located a booking photo of the driver, confirming he was posing as his brother. Officers arrested the driver for driving with a suspended license and providing false information, as well as failing to transfer the title of the vehicle within 45 days.
