Woman says boys urinated in home

Four boys allegedly went into an unlocked Coeur d’Alene home Oct. 5 and urinated on the carpets and beds.

Leann Lyman Thomas of 916 N. D St. reported the damage to Coeur d’Alene police on Wednesday after the parents of the boys didn’t return phone calls.

Thomas left her home on Oct. 5 about 5 p.m. with her husband. When they returned two hours later, they noticed toilet paper spread around the bathroom and what they thought was water on the floor, a police report states. Thomas then discovered the beds were wet. She told officers the beds and floors have a strong odor of urine and need professional cleaning.

David Black, a friend of Thomas’ who is staying in a camper outside the home, said he saw four boys come to the house. When Black told the boys that Thomas’ son wasn’t home, he thought they left. But he later saw them come out of the house.

Thomas told police she doesn’t know the boys and doesn’t know why they would urinate in her home.

Man goes missing after withdrawal

A Coeur d’Alene man was reported missing Tuesday by his family.

John Tumilty, no age or address given, was last seen Oct. 2 at his doctor’s office. There was a $500 withdrawal from his bank account the next day, the police report said.

Marilyn and George Reames, Tumilty’s sister and brother-in-law, reported him missing after he didn’t show at another doctor’s appointment on Oct. 4. They told police that it was odd for him to withdraw such a large amount of money. They also believe that Tumilty hasn’t been taking his medication.

No description of Tumilty was given, and Coeur d’Alene police didn’t return phone calls Thursday.

S-R guard arrested in sting resigns

A Spokane police prostitution and drug sting resulted in several misdemeanor, felony and warrant arrests on Wednesday.

Among those arrested was a Spokesman-Review security guard. Don Butterfield, 68, was cited for patronizing a prostitute, a misdemeanor, and released, said Officer William Hager.

Shaun O’L. Higgins, a newspaper spokesman, said Butterfield resigned Thursday morning. He was a security guard at the newspaper since March 1995 and had previously worked security for other companies, after several years as a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in the 1960s and early 1970s.

Butterfield was not on duty at the time of the arrest, Higgins said.
