The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 340 calls for service between Friday, Feb. 3 and Friday, Feb. 10. Below are selected reports.
At 12:15 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7 in Port Hadlock, a caller reported the theft of an extension cord that had been strung between two properties.
The caller identified a suspect, a woman who was involved in a mutual court case, and said the theft was done to intimidate a witness.
At 12:55 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7 in Chimacum, a 10-year-old boy threatened to shoot a teacher.
The boy was in the school office and his mother had been called; she was on her way to the school.
The boy allegedly told a teacher to back up or he was “gonna put a 17 register right through you.”
The school was handling the incident in-house but wanted the case documented.
The parents of the boy said he did not have access to guns or other weapons.
At 9:28 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8 in Port Hadlock, a shoplifting incident was captured on camera at a building supply store.
The theft of a rubberized roof vent was discovered and the business wanted the customer trespassed so that he couldn’t come back.
The man had come to the store and talked with an employee abut two stovepipe roof vents. One of the vents was more expensive than the other.
The man asked the employee if he could buy both of the vents for the cheaper price, but the employee said no because one cost $160 more than the other and could not sell them both to him at the same price.
Before the man left the store, however, he put the cheaper vent on top of the more expensive vent, and told the clerk the vents were identical.
The customer was contacted and asked to make things right, and the store said that even if the man settled up, he should still be trespassed.
The customer met with a deputy at the sheriff’s office. He said he didn’t steal the vent, but claimed the store had scammed him with the way the vents had been stacked.
The man did admit that he talked to a store employee to get a discount, however.
Deputies issued the man a trespass warning.
