Quiet week on the island. There was a drunk driving arrest, the theft of some boating equipment, a death threat over a construction job and some rock throwing.
Blotter’s below.
Feb. 24
Unsecured: A male was cited for traveling on Highway 305 with an
unsecured trailer of firewood just after 5:30 p.m. An officer
noticed the trailer had wood stacked above the trailer’s walls. The
male was also cited for driving with a suspended license and for
failing to provide proof of insurance.
Feb. 20
Rock throwing: A Bainbridge woman reported that a man in her
Sunrise Drive neighborhood threw rocks at her car. When she
confronted the man, he told her he threw the rocks because she was
speeding. The man told police that he threw dirt rather than rocks,
and that he felt the woman approached him in a threatening manner.
He also implied that the woman’s speeding constituted a threat,
thereby justifying the throwing. Police advised the man to contact
the homeowners association about speeding issues.
Feb. 19
Theft: About $3,000 worth of electronic navigation equipment was
stolen from a boat parked on an Eagle Harbor Drive driveway
sometime during the last two months.
Drunken driving: A Bainbridge woman was arrested for drunken driving on Grow Avenue, near Gideon Lane, just before 1:45 a.m. Police had observed that the suspect’s vehicle had expired tabs as she was pulling out of a parking stall on Winslow Way. An officer noticed the suspect had the odor of alcohol and slurred speech once she was pulled over. She admitted to having two vodka drinks. She was taken to the county jail in Port Orchard.
Feb. 18
Threatened: A construction contractor reportedly threatened to kill
a Bainbridge property owner after partial payment was withheld. The
property owner, an Oakland, Calif. resident, said the contractor
had done substandard work on a flooded basement on Lovgreen Road.
The contractor reportedly said he’d kill the owner and damage his
property. The contractor denied the threats. A report was forwarded
to the county prosecutor.
