Bainbridge blotter | Tasty vandalism

Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SUNDAY, JULY 16

7:33 a.m. Police were called to a restaurant on Madison Avenue. Somebody had tossed a mixture of “butter, cilantro and lime” all over the front of the business.

There are no suspects.

THURSDAY, JULY 20

7:24 p.m. A 41-year-old Bainbridge Island woman approached an officer at the gas station on High School Road to report an assault.

About 30 minutes before, the woman said, she and her son had been walking from the small park at the end of Hildebrand Lane to the Island Village Shopping Center to have dinner. She said a man came up behind her and put his arms around her, placing his hands on her ribs, over her shirt but beneath her overalls.

The man whispered something the woman could not make out and walked away in the direction of the nearby apartment buildings.

The woman said the same man had done the exact same thing about a week before. She did not know the man, but he’d asked her out “a couple of times.”

They had never actually gone out, though, and had “no relationship of any kind.”

Police searched the area for a man matching the description given by the woman and her son, but found nobody.
