Victim grabs hair, fake ponytail to aid in capture

Kitsap County Superior Court cases

Ponytail extension

A victim grabbed a ponytail extension and some hair from two of her attackers April 28.

Bail was set at $100,000 for a 26-year-old Silverdale woman charged April 29 in Superior Court with residential burglary and second-degree malicious mischief. A 24-year-old woman faces the same charges. Both face 15 years in prison and $30,000 in fines. One of the three was released.

Court records say Bremerton police responded to an assault April 28 at 4:46 a.m. in the 1200 block of 7th Street. The victim said she was “jumped” by three women, and they broke her hand. Her car windows were smashed using a bat, and three tires slashed. Total damage was $2,200.

She knows all three: one’s a childhood friend, a military friend with her wife were the others.

The victim said she heard glass breaking, and when she walked downstairs the three were in her apartment. In the fight, the victim slugged one attacker and scratched another on the face. The victim had a piece of hair from one attacker and a ponytail extension from another.

One suspect said she was mad at the victim for leaving her in Seattle. The other two brought her to the victim’s house. A bat was used to smash the windows.

Bite assault

A 25-year-old Bremerton woman was in Superior Court April 29 charged with residential burglary and second-degree malicious mischief.

Bail was $85,000. She faces 15 years in prison and $30,000 in fines.

Court records say that Kitsap County deputies responded April 13 at 12:20 a.m. to the 3600 block of Merastone Lane NE and found a vehicle with windows broken. The victim said he was drinking beers with others when he saw a man try to steal three pairs of Jordan-brand shoes from the front porch.

He tried to stop him, but he took off aided by two women, one of whom bit the victim. The suspect then threw rocks the size of a softball through windows in the house and car. The shoes were valued at $860, $1,500 for the bedroom window and $3,000 to fix the vehicle.

The suspects were identified later through Facebook posts

Axe threat

A 32-year-old Port Orchard man who had threatened others with an axe was in Superior Court April 29 charged with two counts of second-degree assault, one for domestic violence and one for having a deadly weapon.

Bail was $75,000. He faces 20 years in prison and $40,000 in fines.

Court records show Kitsap deputies at 4:35 a.m. responded Feb. 25 to the 1300 block of Marlin Drive SE in Port Orchard. The reporting party said a man on meth was threatening friends with an axe.

A woman said she was strangled by the suspect and used the axe to fend him off. The man later retrieved the axe and threatened others. They heard police sirens, and he ran off with the axe.

The man was arrested on a warrant recently.

PO woman charged

A 39-year-old Port Orchard woman was in Kitsap County Superior Court April 16 charged with forgery.

Bail was $50,000. She faces five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Court records show Kitsap County officers responded Jan. 3 at 10:56 a.m. to the 2800 block of Rocky Point Road in Bremerton.

The victim said about three weeks before he wrote a check for $91.70 to pay his internet bill. On Jan. 2 his bank online told him it was altered and cashed for $500 at a bank in Port Orchard. Officers obtained video from that bank at that time and identified the suspect.

The deputy looked up the suspect and found she has been a suspect in multiple fraud cases, using similar methods.

The deputy connected with her in jail Jan. 5 as she was booked on a different charge.
