_ Dec. 21 - An officer was dispatched to Abbotsford High School in reference to a student in possession of marijuana. The officer met with the student in the principal’s office, where the principal showed the officer a sandwich bag containing marijuana and a lighter. The principal said the student had been sent to his office after a teacher smelled marijuana on him when he returned from the bathroom.

The student claimed he had found the marijuana on the street near his residence and didn’t know who it belonged to, so he kept it his pocket. The offi cer told the student that his story did not make sense and questioned why he would bring the marijuana to school. At first, the student said it had been about a year since he last smoked marijuana, but he then admitted to smoking it recently and said he planned on smoking the stuff in the bag over Christmas break.

The student was issued a citation for marijuana possession, and a copy was also provided to his parents. A total of 2.7 grams of marijuana was taken as evidence.

_ Dec. 21 - An officer was dispatched to a Colby bank in reference to counterfeit $20 bill. He met with a teller, who said the bill had come in as part of a local restaurant’s deposit. The restaurant was contacted, and no one there knew where it came from. The officer took the bill as evidence and examined it, noticing several Asian symbols printed in red and black.

_ Dec. 22 - A Colby man came to the police station to file a harassment complaint. The complainant said he started receiving Facebook messages from a male subject threatening to get him into trouble with his probation agent. This man also said he knew people who could “take care of him,” the complainant said. The complainant said he also received messages from a woman he believed to be the male subject’s girlfriend.

An officer advised the complainant to block both of the people he was concerned about. He also urged him to inform his parole agent about the incidents. The officer also questioned the complainant about why he kept messaging with these parties if he did not know them. The complainant said the conversations would start out fine, but then they would make comments that worried him.

The complainant also asked the officer about his past sexual assault conviction, which is what the parties brought up while messaging him. The offi cer noted that another police department handled that investigation, and they must have had enough evidence to pursue charges. The complainant claimed he was “framed” and said his attorney had advised him to plead “no contest.” The officer reminded him that everything he puts on social media is recorded permanently.

_ Dec. 22 - An Abbotsford man came to the police station to report a suspicious incident. He said the previous night a man came to his door looking for a male party whose name he did not know, though it was similar to that of someone who lives his neighborhood. After the man left, the complainant said his neighbor called and told him that the same man came to their door looking for someone with a different name.

The complainant was worried that this male party may be looking to steal packages delivered at his neighbor’s home during the day. He described the man as having a medium build, in his late 20s or early 30s, with a trimmed beard, glasses and a hat on. The officer said he would request extra patrols in the complainant’s neighborhood.

_ Dec. 23 - An officer was dispatched to an Abbotsford bar in reference to a man who would not leave the bar and had his vehicle parked illegally on the street. When the officer arrived, he noticed a parked vehicle facing west, blocking traffic, even though the parking spots faced south, parallel to the street. He also noticed an open bottle of beer in the center cup holder.

The officer went into the bar and met with a man leaning up against the bar. He had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath, and the bar owner said he had showed up intoxicated. The man denied having an open beer in his vehicle, but it was later discovered that he taken it out of the bar after it was served to him. The bar owner said a second beer was dumped out due to the man’s intoxication.

The bar owner also gave the officer a license plate from the man’s vehicle that had fallen off on the street. The plate apparently came off after the male subject hit a trailer hitch on the bar owner’s vehicle. A dent from the ball hitch was found where the plate was supposed to be.

The male subject admitted to drinking six beers at his friend’s house before coming to the bar. He agreed to field sobriety tests, during which he showed signs of intoxication. A preliminary breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of .248. He was arrested, and two other empty beer bottles were found in his vehicle. At the police station, he registered a .18 BAC, and was cited for drunk driving and having open intoxicants in a vehicle. The suspect admitted to drinking in the parking lot of a local gas station before going to the bar.

_ Dec. 23 - An officer spoke to an Abbotsford woman regarding a suspicious vehicle report. The woman said a blue truck had been parking in front of her house at odd times of the day, and had just left. She provided the officer with a license plate number.

The officer used the number to track down the vehicle owner in Abbotsford. He spoke to a woman who said her daughter uses the truck to play Pokemon GO, and there is a “point of interest” at a park near the complainant’s house. She said she would tell her daughter not to go there anymore. The officer relayed this information to the complainant, but she adamant that it had been a male driver. The officer said the department would do extra patrols in her area.

_ Dec. 24 - An officer responded to a loud music complaint at a Colby residence. As he drove by, the officer could hear loud bass music coming from inside a trailer. He knocked on the door and spoke to man inside, who agreed to turn the volume down.

_ Dec. 25 - An officer was dispatched to a Colby residence in reference to a female party laying on the ground who possibly had drugs in her system. When the officer arrived at the residence, he was waved into the garage where the woman was laying. She was breathing very shallow and not responding. A male party at the residence said she had just snorted six lines of cocaine and had been using the drug previously with a friend in Athens. The man said she has been using cocaine for several years, but has never reacted this way.

EMTs arrived and transported the woman to a hospital in Marshfield. The officer was given permission to search the woman’s purse, and he found two pill bottles. One had a bag with white powder, and the other had a grey powder. A straw and pocket knife were also found. The white powder tested positive for cocaine. A bag inside the other bottle tested positive for heroin, but the grey powder inside was inconclusive.

The officer later spoke to the woman who had passed out, and she admitted to snorting two lines of cocaine before falling down. She denied knowing what the grey powder was, and said the only drug she uses regularly is cocaine, to dull the pain of past surgeries.

_ Dec. 26 - An officer was dispatched to Spencer to assist local police with a domestic disturbance. The male and female subject involved were being cooperative, but the male had been drinking and had marijuana in the house.

The male subject allowed offi cers to seize his marijuana, which was located in his bedroom. The officer confiscated a marijuana grinder, a metal container with marijuana inside and three small pipes used to smoke the drug.
