The Jefferson County Sheriff’’s Office responded to a total of 258 calls for service from Sept. 06 through Sept. 13. Deputies conducted 57 traffic stops, of which two resulted in criminal (misdemeanor/felony) charges.

 

Sept. 6: A deputy responded to a Brinnon address to check for a caller’s missing mother. The woman was located at the address and was removed as a missing person from the national database.

Sept. 7: A caller in the Discovery Bay area called 911 to report “an engine with some clay surrounding it” in the roadway. The caller then went on to state they believed it was a bomb, and relayed a great deal of unrelated information to dispatch. The caller then called back stating a neighbor had walked past the mystery object, and after they yelled at this neighbor to ask what they thought it was, the neighbor replied it appeared to be a bracelet of some sort. After the neighbor confirmed this was something of bracelet size instead of engine seized, the caller stated it seemed unlikely to be a bomb. A deputy responded, finding the object to be a work glove, and the caller to be heavily intoxicated, as well as apparently experiencing a mental health episode. Resources were offered to the caller, who declined all of them.

Sept. 8: A deputy responded to a Quilcene address to perform a welfare check on a caller’s adult child, who was reportedly living with someone in Quilcene. The deputy located fentanyl in plain view in a car as he walked up to the house, and after recruiting the help of the other resident’s father, was able to rouse the occupants of the house to come outside, where they admitted to being users of fentanyl and that the drugs were theirs. The drug possession charge was sent to drug deferral services.

Sept. 9: A deputy took a report of theft in the Chimacum area. The victim left some tools on a table at the Tri-Area Community Center, which were taken sometime overnight between Sept. 6-7. The building had been been broken into. The incident is still being investigated.

Sept. 10: A deputy responded to a call in Port Hadlock, after someone called 911 and was reporting their dog had been taken. On arrival the deputy discovered the caller had got their dog back, and all seemed to have been resolved in the short time it took for the deputy to arrive.

— Deputies responded to a call regarding a possible DUI at the Chimacum Primary School. Deputies arrived and located the driver, who was subsequently arrested for DUI.

Sept. 11: A deputy took a call from a Port Ludlow resident regarding receipt of threatening emails demanding money. The caller had frozen all their accounts and put fraud protection in place. The incident was documented, and the caller was provided a case number for record and banking purposes.

Sept. 12: Deputies responded to Chimacum School after receiving a call regarding an assault that occurred there. A student assaulted a teacher over a detention assignment. The student was placed under an emergency expulsion, and the incident was referred to the juvenile court.

Sept. 13: Deputies responded to a motorcycle crash in Quilcene, assisting medical personnel and State Patrol with the scene. The motorcycle rider was transported via helicopter to Harborview for treatment.
