Five young Spokane men who “jumped over the balcony” at a local bar without paying their bill won’t be charged, according to Nelson police.
They received the call around 2 a.m. Friday and located the men in a nearby hotel.
All were 19 and spent several hours in the bar before trying to leave without paying.
“Staff identified the males who confessed to their transgression,” says Acting Sgt. David Laing. “Public interest in this was best served by allowing the males to settle the tab versus criminal charges.”
Noise complaint leads to drug bust
No charges are being laid either after a Fairview drug bust.
Around 4 a.m. Saturday, police responded to a noise complaint, and while speaking to a man in his garage, spelled fresh marijuana and heard a fan.
A resident admitted 25 plants were being grown in the basement and the air was being vented into the garage. The plants and grow-op material was seized.
Lack of helmet leads to drug bust
Police busted a 38-year-old man for trafficking pot after spotting him riding his bicycle without a helmet or light around 9:30 p.m. Friday.
Laing says the man, from outside city limits, is facing other drug trafficking charges and had been released on conditions.
He’s been remanded for a court appearance Monday morning.
