March 12: 4:43 p.m. – An officer observed a green mountain bike in the street on West Third that had been run over and damaged. The officer removed the bike and propped it up against a fence so it would be noticed by an owner.

12:42 p.m. – North Big Horn Hospital advised dispatch that an intoxicated male had left the hospital in a Ford F-250 and was driving north on Shoshone Avenue. A Lovell officer found the vehicle at a residence and no longer occupied, so no improper driving behavior was observed.
