The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 198 calls for service between Saturday, Jan. 15 and Friday, Jan. 21. Below are selected reports.
At 11:40 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 20 in Nordland, a bank manager called on behalf of a client to report a fraudulent check.
A check that had been written for $50 was changed to $97.65 and the name of the beneficiary was also changed.
The bank needed a case number to continue its investigation into the fraudulent check.
At 2:02 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 20 in Port Hadlock, a caller said their neighbors were outside and yelling at them. They were also shining lights into their home and had cameras pointed in their direction.
The neighbors moved in a few months ago. The caller said they had been shining lights into the bedroom she shared with her partner. She also had complaints about other non-criminal matters.
The neighbors were contacted and they also had complaints about the woman and her partner.
A deputy said an anti-harassment order could be obtained from the court that might help ease the tensions between the two families.
At 3:23 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 20 in Port Ludlow, a resident called about a strange woman on their property.
She had tarps and sleeping bags set up.
A deputy visited the property but the woman was gone. He later found the woman, who said she had been given permission by someone to stay on the property, even though it was not her land.
The woman became upset when asked what she thought would resolve the situation, and stormed off.
She answered the deputy by saying: “I guess I’m going to die.”
The transient is known to authorities; she grew up in the neighborhood and comes back often.
