Assault, July 19 — Officers responded to a reported assault in the Grand Aleutian hotel lobby, and met with several people involved in the alleged incident. The victim, who had certainly been struck in the eye, identified as the assailant a man who had multiple witnesses to attest that he was not in fact the perpetrator.

Fire response, July 25 — Fire and EMS personnel extricated the driver of a forklift which had fallen over on a dock.
