Continued from page 7

A K-9 alerted on the driver’s side passenger door. The officer met with the registered owner and informed them of their warrant. The owner said they knew they had a warrant as that had missed a court appearance.

The owner was placed under arrest and a search of the vehicle was conducted. A scale and two cut straws with white residue were located in the trunk. The officer asked the owner’s companion about the items found. The companion said the items belonged to them. They said they used the scale to weigh bananas and just liked cutting up straws. The officer informed the companion that if the items came back positive for any drug residue, they would receive a citation and/or criminal charges.

The bond for the warrant was $500. The companion said they would get the money. The vehicle owner was taken to the police station, and the companion brought $500 in cash for the warrant. The vehicle owner was released. The confiscated items were tested for marijuana and methamphetamine. Both tests came back negative.

■ June 6 - An officer was dispatched to a Colby residence in reference to a disturbance. The caller reported that their parents were fighting. Yelling could be heard in the background of the call.

The officer arrived and met with a male individual outside of the residence. The man said his family had moved to Wisconsin a year prior and had been living at this residence for a few weeks. He said he and his wife had been having problems. He explained that she stayed at home looking after their children while he worked. He described his job as moving from site to job site doing very physically demanding work. He said he was struggling to keep up with work, along with fixing up their house and saving money in order to buy the house.

The wife had also accused him of being unfaithful. He said he did not have time to have an affair, and that she had access to his phone with a tracker. He said she started accusing him of cheating, knowing it upset him. He said they began arguing very loudly about all of their issues until the police were called.

The wife told the officer the same story, but left out the cheating accusations. They both stated that the argument had not gotten physical. The officer also spoke with the caller, who was one of their children. The child said their parents had been yelling at each other, which scared them. They confirmed that no one had been hit and that they had just been yelling. Both parties had fully calmed down after the officer arrived. Neither party had anyone to stay with for the night. The husband said he had an errand to run a few blocks away and would walk there and back to give everyone more time to further compose themselves. The officer was confident that the couple would be able to remain calm and civil for the rest of the night.
