Jefferson County Sheriff's Log | 'Hate letter' from the neighbor

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 10:43 a.m. Monday, Feb. 6 in Quilcene, a resident reported getting a letter from a neighbor in the caller’s mailbox. The letter did not contain any threats but just said mean things.

The caller noted he had “zero contact” with the neighbor over the past two years, and described the correspondence as a “hate letter” that addressed their differences about religion.

The resident was advised to block the neighbor on social media and consider petitioning for an anti-harassment order.

The man said he would do that if the situation continued.

At 2:25 p.m. Monday, Feb. 6 in Quilcene, a school employee reported a student who had posted disturbing things on social media, including the statement, “I think I might become a serial killer.”

The student made multiple posts in which he talked about murder and anger toward other students.

The school contacted the boy’s parents. He was searched and did not have any weapons in his possession. The student had no history of violence.

School staff, the student, and his parents decided to work on a plan to help the student through his feelings. 

Staff said they would take safety precautions and offered counseling for the student.

At 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 6 in Brinnon, a property owner reported being told of a burglary by a contractor who was building a cabin on the caller’s property.

The property had been burglarized and items from inside the cabin and on the property were stolen. The burglary appeared to have happened over the weekend.

Tools and building supplies were missing. The contractor will send deputies an email that lists the stolen items.

A neighbor saw a truck towing a trailer down the driveway but had no other information.
