A Bainbridge man was arrested for assaulting his elderly mother after she pelted him with empty beer cans to wake him up. He tossed a few back at her before stumbling out the door and into the arms of the arriving cops.
Also this week, a woman assaulted her boyfriend after he poured himself a glass of water without doing the same for her.

the home, was also cited for drug paraphernalia possession when a
pot pipe was found in a pocket. The victim initially called 911 to
report that the suspect was drunk and “smacking” her. The suspect
said he became angry when the victim woke him up by throwing empty
beer cans at him. He reportedly threw cans back at her and grabbed
her arm, causing swelling and red marks. The suspect, who appeared
intoxicated, was taken to the county jail in Port Orchard.

Drunken driving: A 64-year-old Bainbridge woman was arrested for
drunken driving near the High School Road-Highway 305 intersection
just before midnight. The suspect had made a wide turn, veered into
the oncoming lane and crossed the fog line. She was uncooperative
with police, repeatedly asking why she was being arrested and
whether the officer felt “good” about arresting her. She also
stressed that she had lived on the island for 34 years and that
being arrested made her feel like she was in a foreign country. She
admitted to having “a little too much to drink,” including wine and
champagne earlier that evening. She was taken to the county jail in
Port Orchard.
May 26
Drunken driving: A 21-year-old Bainbridge man was arrested for
drunken driving on New Brooklyn Road near Sands Avenue just before
midnight. Police were called after a witness reported the suspect
had crashed his vehicle into into a curb on Winslow Way near
Ericksen Avenue. Police found the suspect’s vehicle stopped in the
middle of the road on New Brooklyn. His vehicle’s air bag had
deployed and the vehicle’s front end was dented, smoking and had
plants tangled in it. The suspect had a small burn on his arm. The
suspect “steadfastly maintained” that he had not been involved in a
collision, but could not explain the vehicle damage or airbag. Once
arrested, the suspect began to cry and admitted he had been
drinking. He was taken to the county jail in Port Orchard.
