Jan. 31: A Bainbridge woman broke or sprained her arm while dancing with a man she had a protection order against. The suspect, a Bainbridge resident, had called 911 after the woman suffered her injury. She and the suspect had been dancing in her Wallace Way home to a Rod Stewart CD. The woman said she fell because the kitchen floor on which they had been dancing was freshly cleaned and she was not wearing shoes over her socks. Police recognized the suspect and knew the woman had a protection order against him. The woman explained that the she had invited the suspect over to eat. Medics placed a cast over the woman’s arm. She also had a bloody scratch on her hand and a bruised and swollen foot that she thought may be broken. She told police the foot injury was due to a fall down some stairs during the previous day. The man was arrested for violating a protection order and taken to the county jail in Port Orchard. The woman was taken to a hospital.

Hit: A truck reportedly damaged a telephone junction box at the
intersection of Eagle Harbor Drive and Taylor Avenue just before 3
p.m. but left the scene before police arrived. Witnesses said the
truck appeared to have slipped on ice and became stuck after
striking the box. The box was knocked at a 45-degree angle and had
exposed wiring. Some witnesses described the truck as “white” while
others said it was “dark” in color or maybe black. No witnesses
knew the make of the truck but mentioned it was large and “jacked
up.” A witness said the truck had four dark-haired juvenile males
in it. A passing SUV driver stopped and helped free the truck just
before police arrived. Police reported that the varying accounts
from witnesses made it impossible to track the truck down.
