Minor consumption. An officer located a male in the backseat of a vehicle on the 40th block of 106th Avenue NW. The vehicle was in violation of a parking ordinance. The man said he was hiding from police because he was drunk and underage. The officer detected the odor of alcohol. He was issued a citation for minor consumption and transported to his home.

Theft. A man reported that a female attempted to steal his car that was parked on the 600 block of 106th Lane NW. He said he left the vehicle unlocked, with the keys in the ignition and the car running. He did not see her in his car, but saw her running away from it. When he got to the vehicle, it had been moved and the keys were gone. He said the parking brake was on and that probably prevented the suspect from driving away.
