Assault: A 58-year-old Bainbridge man reportedly hit another man on the head with a pot during an argument at a Westerly Lane home just before 3:15 a.m. The victim was a 46-year-old Bainbridge man who had been staying at the suspect’s house.

Snake: Police found a large boa constrictor on the side of

slow and lethargic, allowing an officer to apprehend it. The snake
was placed in a bag and turned over to animal control.

of punching him at their Yeomalt Point Drive home just after 1:30
a.m. The woman had already left the home before police arrived. The

victim did not want to press charges.
Someone told me that someone told them that their best friends sisters neighbor told them via text message that the police in Kitsap county overall are a total joke!
Somebody feed them some donuts, they have nothing better to do, but disrupt the peace to create work for themselves, harass, and profile innocent people, and write bogus traffic tickets. Job security, much? That’s what I heard through the grapevine. Harsh!
