The Port Townsend Police Department received a total of 161 calls between Friday, Aug. 12, and Thursday, Aug. 18. Below are selected reports.

At 1 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, a resident in the 300 block of 24th Street told police that their 100-pound dog had passed away. The resident needed assistance getting the canine into their car to be cremated at the veterinarian. An officer arrived and helped transport the dog. The officer drove the dog’s owner to the vet and brought the person back home.

At 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, a caller in the 2600 block of Sims Way reported a suspicious smelling camper vehicle behind a nearby gas station.

The caller described the stench as having an “acidic smell.”

Officers arrived at the gas station and contacted someone at the camper. The officers didn’t detect any smells out of the ordinary and the vehicle was legally parked, so they left the area.

At 6 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17, in the 1700 block of Lincoln Street, a welfare check was requested for a caller’s sister. The caller told police that they’d received a strange call from a sister, with her saying “Hey, you’re hurting me,” during the call. The sibling attempted to call the sister back, but it went to voicemail and the sibling never responded. Officers drove over and contacted the sister, who was fine. She told them that there weren’t any issues and her dog had jumped on her, causing her to say, “Hey, you’re hurting me.”

At 7:40 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, a store manager in the 400 block of Kearney Street told law enforcement that somebody had sabotaged their grocery store’s rooftop compressors, which connect to the business’ cooling systems.

The store manager told police that sometime between 3 and 6 a.m. the night before, someone climbed to the roof of the store and vandalized the HVAC system. The manager told police that they’d look over video surveillance for footage of the suspect. The sabotaged HVAC system could have caused major food damages to the business, but the harm was minor.

At 2:40 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, in the 2400 block of Jefferson Street, an employee reported a sign at the business had been vandalized. The sign’s letters had been changed around overnight to spell “penis” and other letters were also missing. The damage was valued at $100 and the employee thought the vulgar sign change may be related to the recent controversy at Mountain View Pool.

At 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, a caller in the 200 block of Benedict Street reported a dog that was locked in a white Chevrolet Tahoe with the windows rolled up. An officer drove to the scene to investigate and found that the dog was outside of the car with its owners and didn’t appear to be in any distress.
