Jefferson County Sheriff's Log | Afraid of the Taser

Posted

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 360 calls for service between Friday, March 3 and Friday, March 10. Below are selected reports.

At 3:42 p.m. Monday, March 6 in Port Hadlock, a woman said she was chased by an aggressive dog in her yard when she was trying to take her trash out.

She said she was unable to go outside.

A deputy responded, and as he was talking to the resident, the dog ran up to the deputy. The deputy could see the dog’s owner nearby, and asked her to call for the animal.

The neighbor responded, “Oh, he’s friendly and won’t bite.”

The dog then sniffed the deputy’s leg and began to growl.

The deputy pulled out a Taser, and as the device started to cycle up it began to make a clicking noise.

The dog became frightened and retreated.

Eventually, the dog owner put the animal inside. She said the dog had his shots.

The woman was advised to keep the dog on a leash. Animal control was contacted to follow-up on the incident.

At 3:47 p.m. Monday, March 6 in Quilcene, a caller reported three suspicious cars that were at the end of Rodgers Street.

One of the vehicles looked similar to one seen at a Saturday incident where gas had been siphoned.

The caller said all three vehicles had come down the street at a high rate of speed before stopping to park. The caller believed there were kids in the vehicles, and probably smoking pot after school got out.

A deputy responded and was told the vehicle had left the scene 35 to 40 minutes earlier.

They were last seen headed toward Brinnon.

At 11:46 a.m. Tuesday, March 7 at Tarboo Lake, a timber theft and vandalism was reported.

The caller said boughs from 75 to 100 cedar trees had been removed sometime between November and December.

The investigation is continuing.
