Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

Saturday, Feb. 28

11:28 p.m. Police were called to a possible domestic dispute between a 48-year-old woman and her 57-year-old boyfriend.

The initial call was a 911 hang-up and the call back revealed the caller did not intend on calling police but was in an argument and dialed 911 to scare the other person.

When police responded, they found the couple had been drinking and the man appeared intoxicated. He said he didn’t want her to live with him anymore, but said she was not taking him serious about his not wanting her to live there, so he called 911 to make his point.

Police determined no crime had been committed.

12:43 p.m. Police were called to the Safeway parking lot to assist the Bainbridge Island Fire Department after a 48-year-old man passed out inside the store.

Fire department personnel were trying to assist the intoxicated man, but while trying to identify the man, found paperwork in his possession that indicated he was a registered sex offender/kidnap offender in King County. Police learned his last felony convictions were for second-degree rape and unlawful imprisonment, and tried to determine if he was a Bainbridge resident after finding a pay stub with his name that had a Bainbridge address.

Police contacted his employer and were told he commuted to work from Seattle. The employer also said the man was going to be released from employment for uncontrolled anger issues.

A few days later, police were called to the ferry terminal at 8:30 a.m. to assist the Washington State Patrol with an intoxicated subject, and discovered it was the same man who had been found drunk at the Safeway. He told an officer he was staying at “the mission” in Seattle.
