A spokeswoman for the state auditor said Poulsbo’s process of notifying the state that a gun had allegedly been stolen from police evidence may not have complied with state law. On July 6, a .380 Bryco Arms pistol was turned in to the Poulsbo Police by Eddy Dixon after his daughter, Amanda M. Dixon, moved out of the family residence. A records check of the gun revealed that it was documented as destroyed by Dixon, a police evidence clerk at the time, and a Public Works employee, Josh Howerton, a year earlier. The auditor was made aware of the discovery on Aug. 2, some three weeks after the gun was turned in.
