The man’s girlfriend had a protection order in place against him. There had been a call to 911 about the situation and when sheriff’s officers arrived, no one would come to the door. Officers were familiar with the two, knew their voices and could hear “what sounded like sexual activity” occurring in the bedroom. When the suspect finally came to the door, officers told him he was in violation of a protection order. He told them that the women he was with was not the woman who had a protection order against him, but rather, a new girlfriend. Officers knew what the victim looked like and asked if they could come in and look, to which the suspect agreed. A few minutes later, the victim was located hiding in a back closet. The suspect was taken to jail, but refused to walk into the building. The suspect continued to be belligerent and the officer threatened to tase him. Soon jail staff arrived and took custody of the suspect.

The child told officers that she bit through the bag and got out of the van. She also told them that she and her step-father “get naked. We do it in the dark when mommy isn’t home.”

The child was interviewed by a forensic child interviewer and disclosed the same information. She also told the interviewer that the suspect “touches her private and butt with his hand.” She said he told her no to tell anyone or she would be in trouble. Officers arrested the suspect and he was transported to jail.

She admitted to taking the items but said they were for her, not to sell. She said she ran because she didn’t want to go to jail. She was taken to jail and bail was set at $20,000.

•A 31-year-old Bremerton man was arrested for trafficking in stolen property on June 15 after an incident on May 23 when he was seen by Walmart store security in Bremerton taking clothing, food and stereos without paying for them. He then took one stereo to Cash America and pawned it for $201.01. After the suspect returned to Walmart on June 15, he was detained by store security and when sheriff’s officers arrived he told officers he “needed money for gas and stuff.” When officers looked in his backpack they found a dark substance which tested positive for heroin, a scale and a glass pipe. He was transported to jail.
