11:55 a.m. A brown wallet that had been lost on Second Street was retrieved by its owner at the police station.

4:53 p.m. Two female teens were seen vaping and getting into a car near First Street. The caller had been told they were doing drugs but had no more information, like what kind of drugs or what their behavior had been.

8:26 a.m. A wallet was found in the middle of the highway and turned in to the police department.

10:58 p.m. The caller’s noise complaint was determined to be unfounded although the parking lot was jammed packed with vehicles and there was, reportedly, loud music coming from the location on Waverly Place.

9:32 a.m. After noticing a box on the out-of-town neighbor’s doorstep for two years, the caller reported it to the police as suspicious.

In the meantime, the police have secured the ammunition.

12:07 p.m. A male in his thirties was seen running a two-stroke outboard motor up and down the Whitefish river from the railroad trestle to the bridge on JP Road. That area is a no-wake zone and only manually powered vehicles or electric motors are allowed.
