Bainbridge blotter | Everyone is against her

Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

FRIDAY, OCT. 6

6:45 p.m. A 26-year-old Bainbridge Island woman called police to report that her father had hit her while attempting, along with her husband, to take away her baby.

Police arrived at the woman’s home to find her holding a baby. She said her father had hit her on the head and face, though there were no bruises. The woman said her father and husband were trying to take her baby because she was not taking her depression medication.

The woman’s husband told police the woman was not taking her medication and had been “up and down all day.” He said the woman’s father had come from out of town to help with the infant. Once, when the baby began to cry, the husband said he’d gone to check on the child, but his wife had become angry and said she didn’t trust him around the baby. He said she began hitting him on his back until her father stepped in to stop her.

The woman’s father agreed with her husband, and said the woman was also not eating regularly and was earlier that day screaming and throwing things around the house. He’d called a psychologist to speak with his daughter, the man said, but she’d refused.

She believes, her father said, everyone is against her.

Police said that none of the three were willing to leave the residence, even temporarily, but did agree to separate from each other in the home.

No actual assault was determined to have occurred.
