The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 286 calls for service between Sept. 26 and Oct. 2. Below are some notable incidents.

At 4:01 p.m. Sept. 26, police were called about a potential car prowl on Camber Lane in Port Ludlow. 

An 84-year-old man told police someone had broken into his car the night before and tried to “punch out” the ignition. It appeared to be separating, police noted, but there was no evidence of a break-in and the vehicle was equipped with a club-type steering lock, which was intact. It was unclear if any crime had been committed and the man was encouraged to have a mechanic examine the vehicle’s ignition.

At 11:28 p.m. Sept. 29, police were called to an apartment building in Port Hadlock. 

The caller could hear a fight happening in the unit below; angry voices and someone yelling. 

Upon arrival, police spoke with the resident, a man, 40, who said he’d only been playing video games. They checked the apartment and saw no signs of a struggle or disturbance. 

At 12:12 p.m. Oct. 1, a teenage boy in Port Hadlock called police to ask the animal control officer intervene after his brother was bitten by his uncle’s dog. 

The boy said the dog bites him and his brother every time it comes over. He asked to remain anonymous, but was told that if police responded now, his uncle, 29, would know someone in the house had called them and likely figure out who it had been. The boy asked the animal control officer to respond regardless, saying he and his brother had been bitten multiple times already. 

Police said the dog is a large pure-breed that “looks like a wolf.” 

It was “extremely aggressive,” they said, so much so the owner could barely keep it from attacking them. 

Asked if the dog had all its shots, the owner said he believed so but was unsure. Told the animal would have to be quarantined, the man asked if he could simply give it up to police instead. 

The necessary paperwork was completed and police took possession of the dog and took it to a shelter. 

At 3:40 p.m. Oct. 1, a man reported two men were allegedly stealing firewood in Forks. 

Police were called to Undie Bypass Road, where two men were cutting firewood on the beach. They told police they were camping nearby and using driftwood for firewood. 

It did not appear, police said, the men were camping or cutting wood on the caller’s property, and it could not be determined if a crime had been committed. 

The men said they would use only their own wood. 

A report was filed. 

At 1:15 a.m. Oct. 2, a Quilcene man reported a woman to whom he owed money was threatening his life. 

He told police she said she was sending friends to kill him and his dog, apparently angry because he’d recently borrowed some money from her to cover a veterinarian bill. She was not armed, he said, but her friends likely were. 

The woman lives in Kitsap County on the Suquamish reservation, he said. 

Police agreed to speak with the woman at a more reasonable hour, it being very early. The man said he was concerned for her mental health but could provide no actual evidence he’d been threatened.

The incident remains under investigation. 

At 3:55 p.m. Oct. 2, police responded to a plane crash at Jefferson County International Airport. 

A small single-engine experimental plane evidently had its gears collapse while landing. 

The pilot was alone in the craft and managed to get out afterward, uninjured, without assistance. 

It was the fourth crash at the airport since July.

The Federal Aviation Administration and state department of transportation were notified of the incident, police said. 

At 6:44 p.m. Oct. 2, a Brinnon man reported a theft at his vacation cabin. 

A television set and air conditioner had been taken sometime in the last month, but the victim could  not be more specific about the date. The bolt on the shed door was cut and items were missing from there, too. 

There are no suspects.
