Details in Minocqua cocaine bust

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

On Friday morning at around 3, a 28 year old Tripoli man called the Lincoln County Dispatch seeking a non-emergency number. When asked his address, the man hung up. He then called back a short time later saying that someone took his truck and it was now at an area business. An officer made contact with the man who appeared intoxicated. The officer advised the man that he should not drive, and he left on foot.

Over the weekend, a woman reported that she was in the process of moving. She said she arrived at the residence with items as part of the moving process. She found foot steps leading up to a window outside. It appeared as though someone had entered the previous night. The woman said there was nothing in the home to take at the time. She said the heat was turned up as though someone had spent the night. She requested extra patrol as she would be staying there.

There were few reportable accidents in the city limits despite the heavy snowfall.  An officer did report lines sagging due to the snow. Also a woman reported that a county plow went past her residence on Southgate Drive at a high speed while she was outside. She said she was soaked with slush and snow and the force knocked her down and her glasses off. She wanted the driver talked to. The police department notified someone at the county garage to speak to the driver.
