Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.
TUESDAY, FEB. 14
9:26 a.m. An 18-year-old Bainbridge man was cited for inattentive driving and no proof of insurance after his 2006 Mustang went into a ditch near North Madison and Valley Road. The car would not start and was towed from the scene.
The driver said the road was wet and slippery. The road was actually completely dry, however, and there was sand still on it that was spread during the recent snowfall.
SUNDAY, FEB. 5
11:40 p.m. A potential drug overdose in progress was reported at an apartment in Winslow.
A 38-year-old Bainbridge woman called police because her boyfriend had locked himself in the bathroom and threatened to overdose on heroin after she called 911 due to a vicious fight they had been having.
The argument began at a fast food restaurant in Poulsbo, she said, where she had left on her own to return home and go to bed. Her boyfriend, 33, returned home separately and began making a racket while packing his things, saying he was leaving. They fought and when he began to yell at her, the woman called 911. Her boyfriend then, she said, went into the bathroom saying “he was going to do his last dose and overdose because he was going to jail.”
Police arrived and the man would not at first open the door, remaining in the bathroom while the water ran. He told police he was using the facilities. When, finally, he did come out, paramedics had arrived to examine him. As he sat on the couch, police saw drug paraphernalia in the bathroom on the counter; a spoon with brown residue on it, discolored bits of cotton, two syringes, a small black bag containing more syringes, a small plastic baggie and some plastic tubing.
The man fell asleep several times while being examined by paramedics and, when asked, told them he shot up in his groin area. The man was taken to the hospital and the drug-related items were confiscated by police.
