Happy Halloween, Mr. officer

A Poulsbo Police officer woke Oct. 31 to find his patrol vehicle had been hit with two eggs and a tire slashed.

The officer walked out of his apartment in the Trillium Heights Apartment complex near Ridgetop Boulevard in Silverdale around 6 a.m. and discovered his vehicle had been vandalized.

He took photographs of footprints near his patrol vehicle, but no suspect has been located.

Locked

and loaded

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call regarding a prowler at the Olympic Village apartments on NE Mount LaCrosse Lane in East Bremerton around 12:30 a.m. Nov. 1. The caller said her husband had the prowler at gunpoint, but later said she now had him at gunpoint.

The alleged prowler said he was going to his friend’s apartment, but deputies informed him he was in the wrong building.

When asked about the gun, the 63-year-old man and his 39-year-old wife became very evasive. The man denied holding the gun. The woman said she didn’t know why she told the 911 dispatcher her husband had the prowler at gunpoint.

The prowler told deputies the man had the gun and described the weapon. The man said he wasn’t supposed to handle guns because he was a convicted felon.

Deputies found a large gun safe in the couple’s bedroom that had 10 rifles and seven pistols inside. Some of the firearms were loaded and there were several boxes and magazines of ammunition.

A deputy also found a homemade explosive device, which the man said was left over from a Fourth of July celebration 10 years ago on an Indian reservation. The man had been a local attorney for 30 years.

He was arrested and booked into jail for second-degree assault, possession of an explosive device and felony possession of a firearm.
