Liberty lake blotter

The Spokesman-Review

Liberty Lake police made several arrests during the week of March 10-17, and at least one of the suspects was familiar.

Liberty Lake resident Cody L. Thompson, 22, was arrested for driving with a suspended license. “He’s a repeat offender,” said police Chief Brian Asmus. “I think this is like his fourth arrest.”

Thompson, like most people arrested on gross misdemeanor charges in Liberty Lake, was cited and released because the jail is full. Asmus said it has reached the point that officers recognize Thompson’s car and pull him over because they know he’s not supposed to be driving.

Police also arrested fugitive Nathan D. Oxford, 26, of Liberty Lake. They responded to a domestic violence call and discovered that Oxford was wanted on a warrant from Clackamas County, Ore., for possession of a dangerous weapon, fourth-degree assault and menacing.

Calls for service included a report of child abuse, two commercial vehicle inspections, two domestic violence calls, two shoplifting calls, one report of a stolen purse and a report of property theft.
