The last cash out

A 40-year-old Poulsbo Man will not be coming back to the Suquamish Clearwater Casino any time soon.

The man was caught by surveillance cameras April 6 taking an empty cash box into the mens’ restroom.

The sly thief told police officers that he had gambled his money away earlier in the evening. He spotted a cash box, sat down next to it and placed his coat over the cash box. He waited a bit, then grabbed his coat — and the cash box — and made off with them. He went into the mens’ restroom where he opened the cash box. It was empty. The man left the still-empty cash box in the bathroom.

While he didn’t gain any cash through his efforts, he did gain the attention of a Suquamish security officer, who notified Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputies.

According to reports, the man admitted to deputies that he thought there was a lot of money in the box. After losing money gambling, he thought he’d take it.

He said he intended to steal it at first then decided against it.

The man signed a Clearwater Casino tresspass notice and said he would not come back.

The trouble with twins

Twin 55-year-old Gamblewood men were reportedly relieving themselves on the ground near Gamblewood Community Park April 7.

Upon arrival to the scene, deputies witnessed one of the men passed out with his pants down, exposing his buttocks.

The other man was inside a white Ford Econoline van.

Deputies talked to both men, who were stumbling and slurring their speech. Neither one could remember their phone number or hold a conversation. Deputies called the men a taxi to get them home and advised they would be arrested if they tried to drive.

The men didn’t wait for the taxi to arrive and pulled out of the parking lot. Deputies responded by arresting the driver. Inside the van deputies found an empty pint of vodka.

The driver was arrested and booked in jail for driving under the influence of alcohol. The van was towed and impounded.

Man saws off fingers

A 48-year-old Bainbridge Island man accidentally cut of three of his fingers with a table saw on April 8.

The man was working at a cabinet making shop in Poulsbo.

Poulsbo Fire Department paramedics treated the man, who was then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center’s trauma unit.
