The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 215 calls for service between Saturday, April 23 and Friday, April 29. Below are selected reports.

At 8:55 a.m. Wednesday, April 27 in Port Hadlock, an employee for a construction company doing work on Cedar Avenue reported signs that had been vandalized and things that had been stolen.

Someone having an estate sale had taken signs and spray-painted the backs of the signs to advertise the estate sale.

The responsible party apologized for painting the signs and offered to clean up the damage.

At 10:25 a.m. Wednesday, April 27 in Port Ludlow, a chainsaw was reported stolen out of an unlocked barn.

The chainsaw was valued in the neighborhood of $500.

At 3:37 p.m. Wednesday, April 27 in Port Hadlock, a hiker headed to Ludlow Falls found a credit card in the parking lot to the trail.

A name was on the card but the owner could not be found.

The card was put into safekeeping.

At 2:18 p.m. Thursday, April 28 in Brinnon, dispatchers were notified of a man who had been bitten a week earlier by a dog.

The caller wanted to know if the dog that bit her husband had gotten shots.

The bite victim was a mail carrier who was bitten while making a delivery. He said he did not care about the dog bite, but due to upcoming surgery, it was determined that his doctor cared.

Authorities contacted the owner of the dog, who said the canine was up to date on its shots.

At 1:42 p.m. Friday, April 29 in Port Hadlock, a man with property in Brinnon said he had been the victim of a recent jewelry theft.

He said several pieces were missing and suspected his ex-girlfriend. He didn’t want it investigated, but said he contacted her and she denied taking anything.

The man said up to this point, nothing had been returned.

At 3:59 p.m. Friday, April 29 in Chimacum, a caller said a man pulled the purse off her shoulder while she was at HJ Carroll Park and ran away.

He was dressed in a gray hoody.

He came up behind her while she was walking and took the purse, she said, adding that she chased after him but tripped and fell.

The robber dumped the contents of the purse on the ground, then took medication and cash, and took off.

The victim suspected the thief may be associated with a Honda or a Toyota that had been at the park 15 minutes earlier.

At 5:27 p.m. Friday, April 29 in Port Hadlock, a man said he was being constantly harassed on Facebook.

He said he had blocked someone multiple times but they keep creating new accounts. He said both he and his girlfriend were being harassed on social media.

The caller was advised to shut down their social media accounts and obtain an anti-harassment order from the court.
