Later that day, the suspect, booked for Residential Burglary, was released by the courts on his own recognizance. (Press Release Desk)
2. Spokane traffic officer shortage impacts neighborhood speeding, residents say. The Spokane Neighborhood Councils are calling for the return of traffic officers to crack down on speeding.
