If one thing’s clear from this week’s Bremerton police blotter, it is this: if you have a warrant for your arrest in Bremerton, and the police find you, plan on going to jail. 

Remember that the blotter is no substitute for the Kitsap Sun’s Code 911 section, where more prominent police calls and investigations will appear. Here’s your blotter for May 13-19:

Lewd conduct, 3200 Rickey Road: Officers were called May 13 for a man caught with his pants down. He denied it but admitted to being high on drugs. Police took him to the Kitsap County Jail on suspicion of lewd conduct.

Theft, Parkside Drive: An officer said a local company reported May 14 two unauthorized company charges for tools and appliances totaling $4,600. Detectives are looking into it.

Damage to street vegetation, 700 Pacific Avenue: An officer was called May 14 to Pacific Avenue for a report of workers who’d parked a truck on new vegetation planted as part of the recently completed Pacific Avenue project. The workers, who were roofers, moved their truck and offered to replace any damaged landscaping. One small plant had been “smashed down,” the officer said.

Protection order violation, 1300 East Hope Street: Officers arrested a man May 15 who was sleeping next to a woman who he’s not allowed to contact (under court order) until 2019. He was taken to the Kitsap County Jail.

Harassment, 1500 High Avenue: Officers were called for threats with a gun May 15 and confirmed that a man had made threatening remarks in an argument with a woman. He denied he said he would “drop” the woman with a .45 gun, but rather meant a 45 record. He was taken to the Kitsap County Jail for harassment and a probation violation.

Felony warrant, 3200 Pine Road: Officers May 15 learned a man with a probation violation who had reportedly failed to register as a sex offender was staying at a home on the road. He was arrested without incident.

Identity theft, 1700 Callow Avenue: A woman reported May 16 that she got a notice in the mail saying she’d opened 32 bank accounts with Ally Bank. She immediately canceled all 32, noting to officers that no money had been deposited in any accounts. An investigation is continuing.

Suspicious investigation, 3570 Wheaton Way: Officers were called to Key Bank May 16, where a woman was attempting to get money out of her “dead father’s non-existent bank account.” She claimed it contained millions of dollars and was refusing to leave the bank. Officers placed her into protective custody.

Domestic assault, 300 Bryan Avenue: Officers went to a home where a men had reportedly assaulted his girlfriend May 16. He left in his car in a hurry. Police were able to find his car and detained him. The woman said he’d grabbed her arm in a heated argument. Police noticed she had a broken finger nail and redness on her neck. He was taken to the Kitsap County Jail.

Reckless driving, Warren Avenue Bridge: A sergeant observed a motorcycle May 16 doing about 80 mph on Warren Avenue. The sergeant caught up to the motorcyclist and pulled him over. He had his girlfriend on the back. The motorcyclist apologized several times. “I suspect that he was trying to impress her with the powerful motorcycle,” the sergeant wrote in his report. The man will be summoned to Bremerton Municipal Court for a charge of reckless driving.

Domestic assault, 800 Seventh Street: Officers May 16 were called for a fight between a man and a woman who live together, have a child together, but are not dating. They’d argued and the man had reportedly shoved the woman and pushed her toward the ground. He left. Officers have probable cause to arrest him.

Malicious mischief, Fourth Street at Washington Avenue: A woman reported May 16 that nails had been placed near two of her car’s tires inside a parking garage and had caused them to go flat. Police took the report for information but did not pursue suspects.

Belligerent subject, 600 Park Avenue: Officers went to the movie theater May 16 for a report of intoxicated men “being disorderly and making noise” in a theater. Police went to the theater and the movie was halted so they could escort three people out of the theater. They left without incident. But a fourth person, who officers said was uninvolved in the situation, began accusing the officers of “abusing our authority” despite the manager’s request the three be removed. He requested the officer’s names and badge numbers and said he knew people at the “LAPD” and accused the officers of misconduct. He also told one officer that the officer’s notes were “public record” and accused him of having “illegible” notes. “At this point it was clearly evident that there was northing either of us could say or do to satisfy (the man) and we concluded our contact.” The man then went and complained some more to the theater staff. Police stood by while he did so to “assure there would be no further issues.”

Trespassing, 800 Seventh Street: An officer saw a woman setting up camp near the South Court Apartments May 16. The owner of the apartments, who also own the property near it, had authorized police to trespass campers there after a few had done so in December. The officer found the woman had already been trespassed so he arrested her. She claimed she forgot she’d been trespassed. On the way to the Kitsap County Jail, where she was booked, she accused the officer who arrested her of being a “murderer” and responsible for her losing her car.

Theft of car, 1500 Park Avenue: Officers learned May 16 that a man had a Toyota Camry stolen out of his driveway the same morning or previous evening. He didn’t give anyone permission to take it. Police filed it as stolen and notified neighboring law enforcement agencies.

Vehicle prowling, 5800 West Werner Road: A man reported May 17 that a battery had been stolen straight out of his box truck. Police have no suspects.

Littering, 100 North Summit Avenue: Police were called to Forest Ridge Park May 17 for a report of littering. Yard waste and car tires had been discarded and officers were given a license plate of a possible suspect vehicle. The investigation continues.

Officer assist, 11th Street at Warren Avenue: A man’s car stalled May 17 on Warren Avenue in the middle of one of the lanes and it was going to be awhile before a tow truck came. An officer used his patrol car’s push bars to propel the car into the Bank of America parking lot. It caused a slight “gouge” on the bumper of the man’s car but he told officers he wasn’t concerned.

Lots of warrants, 800 Park Avenue: Officers were called the morning of May 18 for a dispute over money. A woman who had no identification was relying on a man to get her money from a Money Gram machine. It wasn’t working and the woman called the police. Officers regarded it as a civil issue, but did check everyone to see if they had warrants for their arrest. The final count:
* The woman had two theft warrants from the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office;
* The man had a suspended license warrant from Bremerton, and an unknown warrant from Port Townsend;
* A witness who “had little to add” to the dispute but was a friend to the man and woman had two theft warrants from Alameda County Sheriff’s Office in California.
All three went to the Kitsap County Jail.

Jack theft, 3000 Kitsap Way: A man walked out of the Napa Auto Parts store May 18 with a $300 vehicle jack and got into a van, officers wrote in reports. When police got there, they knocked on the van’s door and the suspect came out, saying his wife would be paying for the jack and that he was now taking a nap. He could not remember his wife’s last name and had no contact information. When officers asked him to tell the truth, he said he really just needed a jack to fix his vehicle. He was taken to the Kitsap County Jail for theft and he had a warrant for his arrest for domestic violence assault.

Here’s your weekly Bremerton Beat police blotter for May 6-12. 

Theft of wedding ring, 1200 Fifth Street: A man recently released from prison who lives at a halfway house told police that on May 2, he took off his wedding ring to do the dishes and had walked away from the sink when he got a phone call. When he returned, the ring was gone. Police have no suspects.

Truck theft, 11th Street and Olympic Avenue: Officers May 6 learned that a man who’d reported his truck stolen had found it and was following it. After police pulled over the truck and detained its occupants, they asked the man how he could have found it after reporting it stolen. The man told police he’d called a girl whose phone number he’d found on Backpage.com and invited her over May 6 because “he just wanted somebody to hang out with.” He said that while he’d been drinking, he thinks the woman put something in his drink while they were hanging out because he doesn’t remember much from the night. He woke up in jail and said he was told he was arrested for disorderly conduct at Fred Meyer. When he was released from jail he found the truck was not at his home. The man identified one of the women in the truck as the one he’d called from the ad. She was arrested for taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s permission and booked into the Kitsap County Jail. Police found opiate pills and a drug pipe in her purse.

Man in woman’s restroom, 1500 Park Avenue: Police were called to Evergreen-Rotary Park May 6 for a man passed out in a women’s restroom with “blood coming out of his ears.” Police found him there and he indeed did have some blood on his earlobe.

Theft of camera, 300 Naval Avenue: A man reported to police that he’d left his camera, valued at about $5,000, inside the Pour House Tavern May 9. “He was not sure if he left his camera there or if it was stolen,” reports said. Police have no suspects.

Girls fighting, 1500 Park Avenue: Police went to Evergreen-Rotary Park for a report of two girls fighting May 11. One of the participants left in a car and an officer pulled the car over. The officer found the girl, 15, who said the other participant had “been talking about her on Facebook and they agreed to meet to fight.” When they got there, the 15-year-old said she hit the other girl (also 15) even though the other teen did not want to fight. She then left in a car. Police found she had a warrant for minor in possession of alcohol and she was taken to the Kitsap County Juvenile Detention Center. Police also found the other girl, who said she did not know her attacker.

Vehicle prowling, 1300 Park Avenue: A woman reported May 12 that her boyfriend’s vehicle may have been prowled. The car had a “partially open” front door and the passenger side window was “partially out.” It didn’t appear anything had been taken from inside the car.

Domestic disturbance, 3000 Halverson Avenue: Police were dispatched May 12 to a call of a woman allegedly being attacked. But when they got there, they found there’d only been an argument. However, a woman living there had three warrants for her arrest — one for driving with a suspended license and two for theft. She was taken to the Kitsap County Jail.

Gun toting, 11th Street and Warren Avenue: A call to 911 reported a man carrying a rifle around 4 p.m. May 12. A police officer found the man, rifle slung over his back. He was walking two dogs on leashes. The officer deemed his conduct lawful, and did not contact the man.

The driver, whose license was revoked for prior DUI and hit and run arrests, also had a misdemeanor warrant out of Grays Harbor County and a felony warrant for dangerous drugs out of Pennsylvania. But police couldn’t extradite the man, 42 of Bremerton, on those. However, the lieutenants found an officer had given the driver a break in an earlier stop if he promised not to drive again.
