Another officer spoke to the father, who reported he wanted to see his child so had gone to the residence. However, he reported the argument ensued after his ex-girlfriend had told him she stabbed someone who had assaulted her and left them in the woods to die.

• Inaccurate withdrawal - At 4:44 p.m. Feb. 26, LLPD responded to the 1300 block of North Liberty Lake Road for a hold-up alarm. Upon arrival, the responding officers spoke to management, who stated a customer had requested a withdrawal from an account. When the teller was counting the small bills back, the customer became agitated as it was taking too long and left the bank with the money. The teller realized afterward he had given the customer $500 more than he should have and told management of the mistake. Management called corporate security, which then activated the alarm.
