Jefferson County Sheriff's Log | 'Coke' salesman

Posted

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received calls for service between Friday, Jan. 13 and Friday, Jan. 20. Below are selected reports.

At 10:08 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 19 in Brinnon, a property owner reported two burglaries that had recently been discovered.

The resident did not live on the property full-time. The residence was described as a cabin, and the owner said it had been broken into several times since Monday night and the tiny home was destroyed.

The caller said there was nothing of value left behind for the suspects to come back and get.

A deputy discussed options for improving security on the property.

At 7:29 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19 in Port Hadlock, a caller gave authorities the name of a person who was harassing the man’s wife.

He said he was not at home, that the suspect was currently next door, and he was en route to the home from Sequim. No physical altercation had occurred.

A deputy contacted the woman and learned the harassment claim did not come from the suspect, but the suspect’s son, who had told the woman what his dad was upset about.

The neighbor was apparently upset about the driveway.

A deputy tried to contact the neighbor, but he was not home or would not come to the door.

The deputy passed a message through the man’s girlfriend for him to keep the peace and watch his words.

At 12:36 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20 in Port Ludlow, the theft of a front license plate was reported.

The caller said he had left his vehicle at the Teal Lake parking lot while he took his daily walk around the lake, but when he returned around 10:30 or 11 a.m., the plate was missing.

The man said he had already gotten a replacement plate.

At 2:16 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20 in Quilcene, a resident complained about an unwanted person on his property.

The man had been on the caller’s property an hour earlier and was asked to leave. He said the man came back a second time and was told again to go away.

The caller said the intruder was a “coke salesman,” adding, “cocaine, not Coca Cola.”

The unwanted person left in a vehicle with no license plates.

The caller said if the man showed back up on his property that law enforcement would have to pick him up in a body bag.

A deputy contacted the caller, who seemed to have calmed down. The man said the same guy had been on the property six months earlier and had been told to leave then.

The man said he was done with drugs and had been for years, and doesn’t want the guy around. The man was told to call law enforcement if the unwanted person returned. The resident was also advised to remember that 911 calls are recorded, and that threatening murder might not be the best course of action. The man appeared to be unfazed by the advice.
