Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.
Wednesday, Dec. 31
10:45 a.m. A 45-year-old Bainbridge man said a UHaul truck he was using to move was broken into while it was parked at an apartment building in the 300 block of Knechtel Way NE.
He said he heard voices outside his apartment window at about 10 p.m. the previous night but did not call 911 because he was too tired.
The following morning he found the truck unlocked and a 46-inch Sony television missing.
Three high school-aged males had been seen inside the lower parking lot of the apartment building walking around and tampering with a front door keypad. Police obtained video surveillance footage that showed the three young men.
The victim said the TV belonged to a friend and was valued at $550.
1:45 p.m. A woman on NE North Street found 20 pieces of opened mail wedged between a group of mailboxes. The mail had originally been sent to four homes on Meadow Run Drive in Poulsbo.
An officer went to each home to return the mail, and told the residents to check their financial accounts to make sure they were not compromised.
Tuesday, Dec. 30
1:29 a.m. Police stopped a 23-year-old Poulsbo woman after she drove through the intersection at Grove Avenue and Wyatt Way without stopping. An officer could smell intoxicants when he spoke to the driver, who said she had been drinking, but not a lot.
She refused to take roadside sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI. Later breath tests resulted in readings of .101 and .097.
She was booked into Kitsap County Jail and bail was set at $5,000.
9:51 a.m. A 22-year-old Poulsbo man was driving south on Highway 305 near Vineyard Lane when a deer jumped from the bushes and ran in front of his 1997 Honda.
The man said he didn’t have time to react and hit the deer, and damaged the front end of his vehicle.
11:30 a.m. A 64-year-old woman said the back window of her Ford Aerostar van had been broken while it was parked at an apartment building on High School Road. She said a neighbor in the complex and hosted a “rather rowdy party” the night before and thought one of the partygoers damaged her van.
An officer could not find any noise complaints about a loud party from the night before, but found broken glass on the ground near the back of the van and a 2-inch hole in the back window.
