11:57 a.m. A sheriff’s deputy is arresting a wanted person who was spotted at World Gym on Centa/Hayden
11:05 a.m. A bus driver reports that a motorist who was driving erratically has plowed into a snow bank and gotten stuck on Hattie near Government Way. The car now has a flat tire.
10:50 a.m. A student who is having difficulty breathing is in the nurse’s office at Post Falls High.
10:45 a.m. Some jerk has spilled 5 gallons of oil and left an oil filter on the ground 30 feet from the Spokane River at Corbin Park/Post Falls
9:26 a.m. A 73YO man has fallen and hit his head near the front entrance of The Coeur d’Alene Resort.
8:37 a.m. A patrol officer reports there’s a dead animal @ Prairie & Huetter.
I wonder if someone accidentlly knocked their oil filter off at corbin Park and lost all of their oil as a result. You get a lot of kids illegally four-wheeling down there…maybe this is a casualty… at least I hope it is.
I like the more casual police blotter term of “some jerk.” I’m assuming that that is DFO’s term and not the way it came over the scanner but it really works for me. Because it is right on. What a jerk. Even if it was an accident — clean it up!
I had a tug-a-war with my next door neighbor, the Jerk, who continually dumped his oil on my side of his garage. Confronted him a couple of times; threatened to take him to court; tugged with him on several issues: like cutting down my bushes; raking leaves into my yard; shoveling snow into my yard. He had an episode the very last time he came into my yard and chopped down my rose bush. He died. Take that as a warning to everyone who dumps oil on Mother Earth. Eventually you’ll get yours.

What is the deal with the kids not being able to breathe in the Post Falls schools? I’ve seen several of these?
