Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

TUESDAY, OCT. 27

7:30 a.m. An employee with the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District informed police of a hit-and-run which occurred on Sunday morning destroying a 4×4 railing on Teem Loop Road. Police learned that a silver Mercedes ML320 had backed into the railing, which was used for a handicap ramp.

The witness had the car’s license plate number and, after speaking with the driver, police learned that he had intended to call and report the incident, but “family circumstances prevented him from calling right away.”

Statements were taken from both parties and a park district official said they would contact their insurance, but did not wish to pursue any charges.

SATURDAY, OCT. 24

11:39 a.m. A 52-year-old woman reported that, while walking her dog in the area of Ericksen Avenue and Knechtel Way, she saw a lady in a blue SUV who she believed was taking pictures of her. She said she did not know the lady.

The officer reported also having seen the woman in the blue SUV earlier in that same area while on patrol. A second officer later confirmed also having seen the woman on a different street and said that he believed the woman was taking pictures of various trees.
