- A Gillette man woke up Saturday to find one of his Flipping 307 company work trucks missing from outside of his home in the 400 block of E. Laramie Street.

- Later that same day, a 55-year-old woman reported that her $450 Dell Inspiron laptop computer had been stolen out of her 2016 Kia while parked at the Loaf ‘N Jug on HWY 59. The woman had left the doors unlocked and the computer was subsequently taken. There are no leads at this time.

This Jeep is one of several company vehicles parked in the lot at the time, though the only one damaged. The incident is under investigation with no suspects currently named.
- When a 19-year-old Gillette woman accidentally dialed 911 and promptly hung up Saturday evening, she was surprised when officers called back to see if she was okay. She was fine, she told them, and was currently at the Boot Hill Legendary Nightclub and Sports Bar.

Though she tested at a o.00 blood alcohol level, she was nonetheless cited for being a minor inside of a bar.
