Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

THURSDAY, NOV. 12

8:52 a.m. A 62-year-old woman on Weaver Drive NW complained of harassment.

The woman said she had been involved in a lengthy dispute with a neighbor, a 58-year-old man. The pair have argued in the past when the woman takes her dog for walks in the neighborhood.

The neighbor said the woman walks her dog around the neighborhood and doesn’t clean up after it. He said she lets the dog go wherever it wants to.

The man said he watched the woman as she walked her dog and saw the animal defecate on his property. The woman left the dog doo behind and continued on her walk.

The man said he had had enough, so he picked up the feces with a shovel and put it on the woman’s front porch. He then knocked on the door and told her he left her property on her porch.

He said her dog was not allowed on his property, and she threw a cold cup of coffee on him.

Police talked to the woman, who was shaking and crying when she recalled what had happened. She said her neighbor threatened to assault her and she threw the coffee because she was afraid.

The neighbor said he never threatened the woman.

The officer told the parties about civil restraining orders and dispute resolution efforts.

SATURDAY, NOV. 7

12:45 p.m. A 48-year-old Bainbridge woman in a 2003 Volkswagen Passat was following an 80-year-old Bainbridge man in a 2001 Ford F150 pickup heading east on Wing Point Way.

She said the other driver looked like he was lost because he was traveling slowly.

The truck stopped in the road near Robinwood Drive, then started to back up. The woman honked her horn but the other driver did not stop in time.

No one was injured and the drivers exchanged information.

Police called the other driver and told him he would be getting a ticket for inattentive driving. The man became upset and quickly ended the phone conversation.

FRIDAY, NOV. 6

9:24 a.m. A 50-year-old Bainbridge man reported a theft in the 4700 block of Lynwood Center. A box with a small car and a Star Wars toy for his son had been ordered through Amazon and delivered to the lobby of his apartment building and left near his mailbox. The package was gone when he went to retrieve it.

He said the building has a secured entryway, but the back door is often found left ajar for the ease of people who come and go to smoke.
