It’s about 12:30 a.m. on December 11. An anonymous call comes in to 911 dispatchers. The caller says he can see a man is attacking a woman from his apartment.
“This guy keeps dragging this lady around and pushing her,” says the caller.
Officers arrive to find Brandon Larson and his girlfriend huddled together on the banks of Ketchikan Creek. They separate the two.
Larson tells Officer Ray Satterfield the couple was just having an argument and are homeless. (KRBD is not naming the alleged victim.)
“What the person that called it in said [is] that you were trying to drag her into the wood line over there,” Satterfield says in one video.
Grace Lutheran Church in Cambridge has three trees in its sanctuary this holiday season one with Covid-19 ornaments, one in which visitors can take an ornament provided by the church, and one in which visitors can leave an ornament. Karyn Saemann
At local churches, December is normally the busiest and most anticipated month of the year.
Usually, there are choir anthems, childrenâs pageants and cookie walks. Festive brunches and candlelit carols. Towering sanctuary trees strung with Chrismons and antique ornaments.
This year, the Covid-19 pandemic upended most seasonal plans.
Where in-person Advent and Christmas services are still happening, most churches are requiring masks, pre-registration and strict social distancing.
