On Dec. 20, a resident on Pioneer Circle reported hearing gunshots nearby. An officer located the culprit who said “they had caught a coyote that has been a nuisance to their livestock and dispatched it with a .22.” The officer informed the resident of the town law against firing guns, and the resident said they would not do it again.
