Liberty Lake Police Blotter: Man gives false name tied to arrest warrants
A man tried giving a false name to a Liberty Lake police officer recently, but the name he gave was attached to three arrest warrants. As the man was being booked at the Spokane County Jail, he confessed his true identity. However, he had a warrant out for his arrest as well so he was still booked.
Methamphetamine was reportedly found on the man, so he was charged with possession of a controlled substance and making a false statement to police in addition to being jailed on his warrant.
Police stumbled across the man while investigating reports of an argument in the 1600 block of North Aladdin Road on July 16.
