The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 240 calls for service between Saturday, April 16 and Friday, April 22. Below are selected reports.
At 9:28 p.m. Monday, April 18 in Port Ludlow, the suspect in a super soaker incident called to say he had just found a front tire on his truck had been slashed.
He suspected his neighbor.
He said he was in the process of getting an anti-harassment order from the court.
At 8:42 a.m. Tuesday, April 19 in Port Townsend, a business owner in the Glen Cove area reported three locks had been cut off at his business, but nothing appeared to have been stolen. The caller thought it might be related to recent break-ins in the area.
At 10:56 a.m. Tuesday, April 19 in Sequim, a caller reported being scammed by someone on social media.
The caller said he had wired $180,000 to a “Facebook friend” over a two-year period after the friend had told him she had an opportunity in land investment.
The caller said he had never met the woman in person, and said all of their contact was through Facebook. The man also said a friend in Bremerton had discovered the woman lived in Carbon Hill, Alabama, but he said he didn’t really know if it was the same person.
Authorities said it appeared the case was civil in nature.
At 4:01 p.m. Tuesday, April 19 in Port Townsend, a caller said a man who had previously been a squatter on a nearby property had come back.
He threw a rock through the back window of a vehicle and filled the trunk with water.
A neighbor reported seeing the man near the mailboxes, but he was not there when a deputy responded.
At 1:42 p.m. Wednesday, April 20 in Chimacum, a caller said a person had threatened to beat him on the head with a hammer.
He said they had not had issues in the past, and the threat seemed to come out of nowhere.
At 3:50 p.m. Wednesday, April 20 in Port Hadlock, a caller reported an air compressor at a business that appeared to have been vandalized.
An employee reviewing video footage saw someone on a blue motorcycle park near the unit and try to pry open the door.
The door did not lead to the machine’s coin-collection box, however.
A damage estimate was not available from the owner.
