Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

Thursday, Jan. 12

1 p.m. A woman reported her car had been struck in a hit-and-run while parked across from a coffee shop in downtown Winslow. The driver of the other car left no note or identifying information behind.

No witnesses could be found and minimal physical evidence was available.

2:40 p.m. Police arrested a 32-year-old transient man after learning he was wanted under a felony warrant by the Department of Corrections for escaping from custody.

The man was first reported to police as suspicious after he’d been seen standing at the intersection of Highway 305 and Sportsman Club Road for about an hour without crossing.

When approached, police found the man disoriented and nonsensical. He “stared blankly” at them and said he was waiting to cross the street. The man surrendered his drivers license when asked, at which point his identity was ascertained and he was taken into custody.
