Two Liberty Lake officers responded that night to the report of an underage party in the area of Springdale and Sharp, police said. A sheriff's helicopter was on patrol nearby and also responded to the call, flying overhead and using a spotlight to try to track down the juveniles, police said.
• Felony harassment - A 35-year-old Liberty Lake man was arrested Jan. 27 on the 2600 block of North Harmony for domestic violence felony harassment and threats to kill. The complainant told police her ex-boyfriend, the suspect, had sent threatening text messages and that he called her that day and threatened to kill her and her son. Police found the man at his mother's residence, and he was booked into the Spokane County Jail.
• Hit-and-run collision - Police responded Jan. 27 to a hit-and-run collision at Country Vista Drive and Liberty Lake Road. A witness told police the suspect vehicle hit another car near the intersection and then continued on. The witness followed the vehicle and watched it hit another car on Country Vista Drive. All three vehicles sustained severe damage, police said. The drivers of the two victim vehicles received minor injuries.
The suspect driver, a 46-year-old Liberty Lake woman, was transported to the hospital and arrested for driving under the influence after a drug recognition expert evaluated her. Police say she admitted taking Vicodin, and the drug expert suspected she also had been drinking alcohol. Advertisement

• Two-car accident - Police responded Jan. 28 to a two-car minor injury accident at the intersection of Harvard and Mission. The at-fault driver exited Interstate 90 and thought the intersection was a four-way stop, police said. The driver pulled out across Harvard and struck a vehicle traveling southbound.
• Reckless driving - A 19-year-old Spokane man was arrested Jan. 28 at Mission and Potomac for reckless driving and for possession of a dangerous weapon. A 17-year-old female from Spokane Valley also was arrested during the incident. Police observed a pickup quickly pass a vehicle eastbound on Mission, and the car then sped up to catch the truck, driving 70 mph in the 35-mph zone. The officer, thinking the interaction was a road rage incident, pulled over the truck and the car kept going. The officer arrested the driver, who said the driver of the other vehicle was a coworker and they were being "stupid," according to police reports. The officer found a set of brass knuckles in the truck, and the man was cited and released for possession of a dangerous weapon and reckless driving. Using a cell phone number provided by the male driver, police called the juvenile, who returned to where the officer had stopped the truck. She was released to her parents, police said.
• Forgery - Police are investigating a forgery from last month involving a Liberty Lake victim, who told police she received a call from the STCU fraud department. A questionable check had been presented in Portland, Ore., from the victim's account, and it was determined to be fraudulent. The next day, a second fraudulent check was cashed in Tacoma. The cases will be forwarded to Portland and Tacoma for follow-up, police said.
