The following summaries were selected from Port Orchard Police Department reports filed by officers during the past week. The summaries were edited for brevity and clarity, and don’t represent all of the procedures enlisted by officers during the described incidents.

Nov. 5

There was more trouble at a local rehab center this week. At 12:34 p.m., a Port Orchard police officer arrived to talk with two roommates about an alleged assault that took place in their room. On Nov. 2, a staff member received a call light notification from the roommates’ room. When she arrived, the aide found one of the women crying, who said her roomie had tried to shut off her TV. When told to leave it alone, the other roommate reportedly dumped a full container of ice water on her and hit her in the face with a magazine. Adding insult to injury, the woman also called the victim a fat “b—-ch.”

When the nursing director spoke with the victim, she learned the woman did not feel safe sharing the room with the perpetrator. In her defense, the accused roommate admitted she did try to turn off the television so she could sleep. Frustrated and angry that her roommate wouldn’t shut off the TV, she also admitted to pouring water on the woman. But asked if she hit her with a periodical, the woman told the director she “never laid a hand on her.”

The victim said she was not injured or in pain. Staff members at the facility moved the perpetrator to another room. When the officer spoke to the accused roommate, she said her memories of the incident were fuzzy and even concluded it never happened. But then later, she told the officer that she had waited until her roommate was asleep before attempting to turn off the television. And when told not to touch the set, the woman said she just might have poured a cup of water on the roomie. But, she emphasized, profanity was never used and nary a finger had been laid on her — and no water had been poured on the victim.

The officer filed interviews from this messy incident in a report for the eyes of the prosecutor.

Nov. 4

An officer in a marked patrol car was traveling north at the 2200 block of Pottery when he observed a green Chevrolet passenger car traveling south on the street. While passing the officer, the vehicle was clocked driving 45 in a 30 mph speed zone. The officer stopped the vehicle near the intersection of Sidney Road Southwest and Southwest Berry Lake Road.

As the officer advised the driver the reason for the stop, the male volunteered that he had a Department of Corrections felony warrant with a suspended driver’s license. A data check on the driver returned a DOC Escape Community Custody warrant, a Port Orchard domestic violence-no contact protection order violation warrant with a must-post $30,000 bail and an order to serve 30 days, and a third-degree suspended/revoked driver’s license. He was placed in handcuffs and advised of his arrest for third-degree driving with a suspended license. The driver was then taken to Kitsap County Jail and booked, with a $5,000 bail in addition to his other warrants.

Nov. 3

An officer was dispatched at 3:38 p.m. to talk with a reporting party in the Port Orchard Police Department lobby for assistance with an elderly male who was wet and confused. The man said the elderly male had knocked on his door earlier that day asking for assistance. He was unable to say where he was going or where he lived. The man, however, had a Medicare card with identification.

The officer spoke with the elderly man, who was confused about his address and contact phone numbers. Suspecting he suffered from dementia, the officer checked the man’s pockets for additional identification. Finding none, a police sergeant called local elderly care facilities close to the caller’s address. The sergeant ultimately found the facility in which he lived. He was returned there and released to the employees. The officer was told the man lived in the unsecured section but had never wandered off before. Staff said they would call his family and see if he should be moved to the facility’s secure memory care section. Meanwhile, the man’s identification was entered into the police department’s database should it be needed again.

Oct. 29

An officer interviewed a woman who said she was a victim of Facebook fraud. She reported seeing an advertisement in Facebook’s Marketplace section for a Husky puppy in Idaho. The ad had an address listed as Warm Springs Avenue in Boise. The woman said she spoke over the phone with a female who told her the dog would be flown to Seattle via Fast Courier Airlines. She agreed to pay $220 plus a $9.99 processing fee for Western Union.

At the time, she didn’t think it was a scam until receiving another call to send an additional $100 for an upgraded crate. That’s when her husband saw red flags and labeled it a scam. The officer opened Google Maps to pinpoint the address in Boise — and up popped a storage unit facility. Shown the location image, the woman said she didn’t want a similar situation to happen to anyone else. The officer gave her some helpful tips: be sure to let everyone on Facebook know the business is a scam. These incidents, he said, often have phone numbers that are ghosted and include locations that are either storage units or vacant homes and lots.

If the deal sounds too good to be true, the officer said, it’s most likely a scam.
