There was a fraud complaint involving scammers posing as county jail officials demanding money, a vandalism report after graffiti was found inside the Chuckie Lundquist Park tunnel, and a missing person report after a woman reported she had not heard from her sister since January. An illegally parked ATV was also recovered and later released to its owner after deputies confirmed there were no holds on the vehicle.

Officers also handled several juvenile-related complaints, including reports of juveniles climbing onto the roof of a park shelter in Lindstrom, reckless boating near swimmers on Lindstrom Lake, and careless golf cart driving through a neighborhood. Warnings were issued in the boating and golf cart Wyincidents.

Traffic-related calls included a hit-and-run involving a parked vehicle, a two-vehicle crash near Dairy Queen that required both vehicles to be towed, a vehicle that left the roadway outside Fairview Clinic after the driver's foot slipped from the brake, and damage caused when several vehicles struck a construction sign lying in the roadway.

Other notable calls included the arrest of a man on a Hennepin County warrant, a domestic disturbance involving allegations of drug use that resulted in no criminal charges, a separate disturbance involving an intoxicated man who agreed to leave for the night, a vehicle lockout, a report of a dog left in a parked truck, a dog bite involving an Amazon delivery driver, an animal neglect complaint after a dog was left outside in extreme heat.

Late in the week, there was a mental health crisis in which the individual voluntarily agreed to be transported to a hospital for evaluation.
