Jefferson County Sheriff's Log | Escape through the back door

Posted

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 340 calls for service between Friday, Feb. 3 and Friday, Feb. 10. Below are selected reports.

At 6:58 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 5 in Chimacum, a man said his son had gotten a message on social media about another student who was making threats about a possible school shooting.

The son saved a record of the threat; a picture had been posted that showed a Winchester rifle and boots that belonged to the student who posted the picture.

The man said he was concerned enough that he didn’t want to send his son to school the next day. The man also left a tip with the FBI about the incident, and a deputy was contacted by the bureau later in the deputy’s shift.

Authorities determined that no direct threats had been made, and the school’s principal was notified of the posting on social media.

The post was a photo of a Model 1879 double-barreled shotgun, and the student had posted that he purchased the firearm the day before.

One of the student’s acquaintances left a message on social media that the student should bring the gun to show-and-tell, and the student replied with “OK” and a thumbs-up emoji.

The students’ parents were contacted, and they said all firearms were kept locked and their son did not have access.

At 4:39 a.m. Monday, Feb. 6 in Quilcene, a burglary was reported at a coffee stand.

Someone broke into the coffee stand by smashing the window on the south side of the structure. A total of $1,200 in cash, as well as the cash register, were stolen. No other things were taken.

The crime occurred at 1 a.m. and a camera captured the burglar, who appeared to be a woman dressed in a dark, hooded sweater, jeans, and gloves.

The burglar left out the back door without causing any further damage.
