POLICE LOG ‘What’s your badge number, dog?’

Published 12:00 am Saturday, November 15, 2008

A Bremerton Police officer was stopped at a stop sign on southbound Broadway Avenue at Sixth Street at 2:45 a.m. Oct. 29 when he heard loud voices. He looked out his vehicle window and saw two men standing in the middle of Sixth Street in front of Monica’s Social Club.

The officer drove toward them and watched a short man walk up to a taller man. The tall man pointed at the officer, the shorter man looked, then punched the tall man in the face and ran northbound into a parking lot.

The officer got out of his car and chased the man. When he yelled that he had a Taser, the 20-year-old Bremerton man stopped. The officer handcuffed the man and while taking him to his vehicle, the man repeatedly yelled, “What’s your badge number, dog?”

The 20-year-old said the man he hit “punched him over a beer and he wasn’t going to let that happen.” The victim was not found.

The man was arrested and booked into jail for fourth-degree assault. He was later released.

Scrambled eggs a la floor

A Bremerton Police officer responded to an apartment in the 700 block of Chester Avenue in Bremerton at 5 p.m. Oct. 28 to check on a woman reportedly “passed out” while her two children ran around the lobby of the apartment building unattended.

The officer went to the woman’s apartment and found the door unlocked. The 21-year-old woman was wrapped in blankets on a couch and woke up when the officer called out to her. She said she fell asleep and was taking a nap with her 2-year-old and 1-year-old children.

The officer noted in his report that the woman’s apartment was messy, with dirty diapers, a pan of scrambled eggs and other items on the floor. He told the woman to clean up her apartment so the children would have a reasonable place to stay.

The woman said it is overwhelming with no family support in the area. No arrest was made.

Cat fight

at A&C

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a large fight outside the A&C Tavern on Perry Avenue in East Bremerton at 1 a.m. Nov. 2.

Upon arrival, deputies spoke with several involved parties and witnesses. A 28-year-old woman said she was outside when she heard arguing coming from inside the bar. She saw two women dragging her 27-year-old female friend outside and threw her on the ground. They started hitting and kicking her. The victim’s other friend tried to help her by pulling the suspects off and a 25-year-old man punched her in the nose.

Another witness said one of the suspects was aggressive and frequently yelled “206” and “I ain’t from here.”

The victim was transported to Harrison Medical Center with lacerations to her head.

The 25-year-old Seattle man, 23-year-old Bremerton woman and 31-year-old Silverdale woman were arrested and booked into jail for fourth-degree assault. All were later released.
