Moscow police documented three non-injury traffic accidents on the day. One occurred at South Blaine Street and Troy Road; a second at the 300 block of South Main Street; and a third at the 700 block of South Harrison Street.

A theft was reported at the 300 block of Veatch Street. Officers took a report and the investigation is active.
Welfare and Disturbances
