Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

MONDAY, DEC. 12

4:43 p.m. A relatively new Bainbridge Island resident called police to report the apparent theft of a firearm.

The man told police that upon unpacking his household items and personal property at his new island residence he discovered his Remington rifle missing. He had utilized the services of a moving company, and the weapon was on the itemized list of items packed. Nothing else appeared to be stolen.

Police filed a report.

SUNDAY, DEC. 11

6:29 p.m. A Bainbridge Island woman came to the police station to report a domestic altercation between herself and her husband earlier in the day.

Her husband, she said, had been having an affair with another woman, though they had been attending couple’s therapy and attempting to fix their marriage.

However, earlier that day the woman discovered recent photographs of her husband and his mistress, suggesting he had continued to see her.

When the man arrived home with their son from a sporting event, she confronted him, at which point he suggested they discuss the matter in the bedroom.

There they argued, and when he refused to leave the house the woman said she would. He stopped her from leaving, she said, and grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed onto the bed, where he held her down repeatedly while telling her the photos were old and he was committed to their marriage.

The woman said she was going to call the police. To which her husband said, “You’re so good at playing the victim role.”

The woman eventually was able to leave and made arrangements to stay at a hotel. She filed a report, but said she wanted no charges pressed and did not want her husband arrested.

THURSDAY, DEC. 8

8:15 a.m. A Bainbridge resident attempting to give a gift was apparently the victim of theft.

The islander left a Christmas card containing $100 on the front door for the UPS driver. She also left a note “indicating this gift and labeled the card with [the driver’s] complete name and designation as a UPS Bainbridge employee.”

When she checked the door about an hour later, both the note and card were gone — though no UPS deliveries had been made. There was, however, a FEDEX package.

The woman checked with the UPS driver, the intended recipient of the gift, and confirmed she had not received it, and then called FEDEX to ask that the driver be questioned.

The driver for that route denied having ever seen any such card.

TUESDAY, DEC. 6

7:51 a.m. An 11-year-old girl was hit by a car on Point White Drive, sustaining minor injuries.

The driver said he was going east, on his way to work, when the child stepped out into the road in front of him from a nearby driveway. He did not have time to stop, he said. After the collision, he immediately stopped to assist the child, who was with her older sister.

The driver was “upset,” but “adamant” that there was nothing more he could have done to avoid the accident, saying that “the only way he could have not seen her is if he looked down for a split second.” He was not sure he did any such thing, but was himself unsure how he did not see the child.

The child’s sister said the 11-year-old had walked down the driveway and into the road without stopping.

The child suffered scrapes and bruising and was treated by a medical unit. The car sustained minor damage.

The man was cited for inattentive driving.
