Kellogg Police Department Roll Call: Oct. 28 - Nov. 4

• Report of a man with a gun in the street on E Idaho. Once officers arrived, they quickly noticed that it was not a gun, but oddly enough a thermometer. You know, the kind that you point at your forehead or whatever else and pull the trigger to get the temp? Not the old school type that you place under your tongue, under your arm pit, or up your… When asked why he had the thermometer, he simply stated "COVID." Fair enough, I guess. Cleared, NAT.

• Dispatched to a possible verbal domestic on the 300 block of E.

• Big week this week… you know… the new season of Apex comes out. Oh yeah and some voting thing. Just kidding. Hope all of you got out and voted. As much as one side dislikes the other and vice versa, it is important that we have both. This keeps both in check.
