Liberty Lake Blotter: Police check on welfare of two people
Liberty Lake Police were asked to check on the welfare of people twice last week for different reasons.
On March 31 a man contacted the police department to report his daughter missing after she failed to check in with family and her phone was turned off.
A roommate told police that she had gone to meet someone she met online and never came back. The woman’s picture was posted on the department’s Facebook page as a possible missing person and someone called police to give her location. An officer checked with the woman to make sure she was OK.
On April 4 a man called police and requested that they check on his ex-wife and son. The man was barred from contacting them except via email because of a restraining order. The man was not receiving any replies and told police he was concerned for their safety. An officer contacted the ex-wife, who told police she was fine and simply didn’t want to respond to her former husband.
Other incidents reported from March 31 to April 7
March 31: A juvenile reportedly assaulted several staff members at a facility in the 23000 block of East Mission Avenue. A business in the 1100 block of North Liberty Lake Road reported that several flags had been stolen overnight.
