Oct. 24

Assault in the fourth degree: A 62-year-old man who lives on Agatewood Road and a 68-year-old man who lives on Agate Pass Road were involved in road rage at 5:34 p.m. The incident started after the two men, who were each driving trucks, gave an obscene hand gesture to each other as the older man drove on the shoulder to exit State Route 305. As a result of the older man thinking the younger man blocked his path to exit the roadway, he parked his vehicle and confronted the younger driver. The older man took a swing at the younger man, but missed when his attempt was blocked. The older man then threatened the younger man by telling him, “Your day is coming, I will get you.” The younger man, who called police, said he didn’t want to take the matter to court, but only wanted police to contact the older man. When police called to the older man at 6:15 p.m., he denied taking a swing at the younger man. The report was forwarded to prosecutors for charges.

Residential burglary: A 45-year-old man living on the 10000 block of Manzanita Road reported at 8:30 a.m. that his home had been burglarized. The man’s home was in the middle of being remodeled when burglars broke into the man’s guesthouse, which was being used as a staging area for large items. The thieves entered through a guesthouse window and stole two 60-inch LCD televisions, two Blu-Ray players, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a computer server, two routers and a cable modem. Prints the suspects left were lifted from a window screen and other areas.

Malicious mischief in the third degree: A 52-year-old man reported that someone had cut the gas hoses in his car while his vehicle was parked at his workplace on the 8000 block of Day Road East. About 10 days earlier, the man noticed gas dripping from underneath his car as he pumped gas. The man saw a large hole in his incoming gas hose and a section missing from the vent hose. The man found the missing sections near his work parking spot Oct. 23.

Vehicle collision: A 36-year-old woman on vacation from Los Alamos, New Mexico, with two friends hit another vehicle as she drove a rental car at the intersection of State Route 305 and Madison Avenue at 3:06 p.m. The driver didn’t stop when she hit the back of a 45-year-old Indianola man’s truck. The woman believed she fell asleep while driving because she had closed her eyes prior to impact. An officer noted the woman appeared sleepy. The woman suffered back injuries and was taken to the hospital. She was cited for inattention.

Oct. 9

Theft in the second degree: A 71-year-old man living on the 6000 block of Marshall Road reported a 43-year-old Seattle man, who said he was a struggling father, may have been a con artist who stole $2,000 from the homeowner six to eight months ago.

The homeowner, who also owns property in Seattle, said out of sympathy for the suspect and his situation had provided the suspect with jobs, housing and even the use of a vehicle, which the suspect damaged while driving. The suspect recently was arrested in King County for theft using stolen checks from another property owner that he rented from in Seattle.

A man was walking his dog on Bolero Drive when he spotted a person crouching down between his house and his neighbor’s. The suspect then stood up and ran out of the area. The man pursued the suspect but because he thought it wasn’t safe to continue to chase the person, he stopped and returned home to call police. An officer searched the area, which led to a wooded area and a trail that went to Toe Jam Hill Road, but couldn’t find anyone. Because it was very dark the man wasn’t able to provide a description of the suspect to police.

Animal at large: A gray dog, a blue heeler breed, was running loose on the 4000 block of Bergman Road at 2:39 p.m. The dog came into a neighbor’s yard and started barking viciously at a 63-year-old woman.

When the officer spoke to the dog’s owners they said the dog had been outside as they were cutting firewood. They said the woman started yelling and chasing the dog with a garden hoe.

When police arrived, the customers were told not to return to the business for 48 hours. Soon after, the men walked off the property without incident.
