Called to a parked car where a couple were said to be fighting, police found an intoxicated woman and a man with a dark bruise on the his neck and blood trickling from his face.
Turns out the bruise, which looked to police like a “hickey,” was from a previous “consensual” incident with the woman.
And the blood? That was from a sizable zit that burst when the woman punched the man’s face.

Assault: A Bainbridge female was arrested for assaulting her
boyfriend while parked in a car on Country Park Road. Police
observed that the victim, a Bainbridge resident, had blood dripping
from his face and neck and red marks on his face, neck and clavicle
area. The suspect, who appeared intoxicated, said she struck the
victim after learning he “liked” another woman. She admitted to
striking the victim. The victim also had a large bruise on his
neck, but police believed it to be a “hickey.” The victim said some
of the marks were “consensual,” and were from an incident during
the previous night. He explained that much of the blood came from a
pimple that the suspect popped when she struck his face. The
suspect was transported to the county jail in Port Orchard.
