■ January 29 - An officer was dispatched to a residence in Abbotsford for an inadvertent 911 call. Dispatch advised that no contact was made with anyone. The officer arrived and knocked on the door multiple times without response.

During these attempts, the officer heard a loud bang coming from the house to the north. The officer looked to his right and observed a male individual standing near the side door to the house to the north. The officer noted the noise he heard sounded like a door shutting or something similar. The officer observed a male individual at the house walk down the driveway and south on North First Street. The officer announced to the man but he did not stop walking.

The officer walked over to the house to the north and made contact with a female who said she was the individual that called 911. The officer told the female that he would attempt to make contact with the man who walked away and would be back. The officer located the male and detained him due to the uncertainty of events at the address that day. The officer placed the man into handcuffs and notified him that he was not under arrest but was being detained. The man understood.

The officer told the man he would speak with him after he had gathered information from the woman in the house and seated him in the rear of his patrol squad.

The officer made contact with the woman at the house and while walking inside, the officer noticed the side door, interior frame to be hanging inwards. The woman said her boyfriend, the man in the patrol car, came home drunk and was causing issues.

The woman said once the man arrived home, she observed him to be intoxicated and he started accusing her of taking items. The woman said the man had the keys for the vehicle he arrived home in and threw them on the windshield of the car. She said he then started to accuse her of taking the keys from him. The woman said she did not take his keys. The woman said the man then began yelling at her, stating she also took his phone, rent money and his personal marijuana. She said they both threatened to call law enforcement on each other.

The woman then called law enforcement as the man continued to argue with her and she told him to leave the residence. Once the man stepped outside, she locked the door. The woman said the man attempted to get back into the residence and also attempted to get inside by using the other front door. The woman said the man then returned to the side door and broke the door, gaining entrance to the inside of the house.

The woman said the door frame, which the officer had seen walking into the residence broke as the man pushed the door in. The woman said the man used his foot and an unknown item from outside to gain entry. She said once this occurred, the man saw police presence and left because he was afraid.

The woman said the argument did not become physical and said she and the man were not married but live together and have one child in common.

The officer returned to the man and asked what had happened. The man said he was trying to get his keys for his vehicle but the woman would not give them to him. The man said he did not try to get money from her but only wanted the keys. The man insisted that the door that was broken inside the house had been broken by the duo’s son four days prior.

The officer informed the man he was under arrest for domestic abuse - disorderly conduct. The man wished to have his phone accompany him and the officer went to grab his phone out of the man’s car.

While looking for his phone, the officer observed a plastic bag containing a small amount of green, leafy substance on the driver’s seat, which appeared to be marijuana.

The officer told the man of his phone location inside the car and asked him if he wanted the officer to unlock his vehicle to obtain it and look for the keys. The man gave the officer consent to unlock the vehicle and the officer secured the plastic bag, containing suspected marijuana.

The officer transported the man to the Clark County jail and advised the man he was receiving a citation for possession of marijuana.

Later, at the police department the substance tested presumptively positive for THC.

■ January 30 - An officer took a report of harassment from a woman at the CAPD. The woman resided at an address in Colby and said that she had ended a relationship with a man earlier this year. The woman said that since then, the man continues to call and text her against her wishes. The man was told by the woman to not contact her anymore but he continues.

The woman said the man uses his and his friends’ phones along with a message app that allows him to change his number. The woman said she no longer answers the calls and then listens to the man yelling at her on voicemail. She said the man has also started to call her work and said he would begin talking like everything was OK and then ask her for a favor. She would tell him no and then he would start screaming at her. The woman said he has mental issues and is easily set off.

The woman did not mention the man threatening her directly but that he has said odd things like he was two minutes away from her house and told her to be waiting for him outside. The woman was also told by the man that he would get into her apartment somehow even though he no longer had a key to the apartment. The woman said she wanted the behavior to stop.

The officer told her to not respond in any way to the man’s calls and to report them to the CAPD if they continued. The officer recommended that she talk to her cell carrier about changing her phone number so the man would no longer have the ability to call and harass her. The officer also told her to speak with her managers at work about the situation and possibly ban him from the premises if he continued to contact her at work.

The officer told her that the Clark County Courthouse was where she would need to go for a restraining order as she had requested one. The officer told her he would speak with the man and give him a CAPD trespassing warning letter/stalking

The woman said that morning, she had been contacted by the man again via Facebook. The woman showed the officer the messages where the man called her and another friend names and other derogatory messages were sent to the woman.

The woman had responded a few times saying he needed to be locked up and stop contacting her. The woman was concerned that the man knew where she lived and would show up and hurt her. The woman said that last she knew, the man drove a silver sedan and lived in Rice Lake.
