A car accident was reported in the Hadlock QFC parking lot, after an unattended vehicle rolled across the parking lot and struck another car, trapping it in its parking space. The situation had apparently resolved itself in the three minutes it took a deputy to arrive at QFC, and there was no trace the accident had occurred. The person who had called in the accident called 911 again to report the same.

May 3:

Deputies responded to a report of a possible break-in in Brinnon. A housekeeper reported a man at a home she was cleaning. The man left, then returned some time later. At some point, the housekeeper discovered a broken window, which she believed to have been caused by the man. The man was located and questioned. It turned out to be an estranged relative of the homeowners, who was confused about a will.
