The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 298 calls for service between Friday, March 24 and Friday, March 31.

At 6:05 p.m. Wednesday, March 29 in Port Hadlock, a man said he was worried about the welfare of his father’s dog.

The son said his dad went to Nevada several months ago and left the dog behind. He recently returned and took the dog back, but the son felt his dad could not take care of the animal and may be abusive to the dog.

The father was now living in Clallam County, and the son was advised to contact authorities in that county.

At 3:29 p.m. Thursday, March 30 in Chimacum, a school counselor reported a student who was being threatened by a parent.

The student had not been contacted directly, but had heard other students saying they’d been told of a conversation where the man had threatened to shoot the boy.

The boy’s mother was called and told of the threats, and the mother had also heard third-hand reports that the stepfather of her son’s girlfriend had made the statement. The mother said it was probably a sarcastic comment that had been overheard, and she was going to call the family to clear things up.

At 3:21 a.m. Friday, March 31 in Chimacum, a caller whispered that she thought someone was trying to get into the house.

The woman lives in an apartment above a garage, and said she had heard a gunshot about 30 minutes earlier.

The sound appeared to be coming from a location near the garage, but the woman wasn’t sure exactly where the person was trying to get into the home.

She also said the landlord was currently at the property, but was asleep in a yurt.

Deputies responded and talked to the woman and the landlord.

The landlord also heard something that sounded like a gunshot.

The landlord admitted being in the garage a short time earlier, doing laundry, and had thrown a plastic dog door out of the way, which had caused a bit of noise.

Dogs on the property who are known for being very noisy were calm, however, and a deputy determined that nothing criminal had taken place.

At 3:29 p.m. Friday, March 31 in Quilcene, a resident said a caretaker for her father had stolen a check and committed fraud.

A check had been made out for $1,200 and had been cashed, and the caretaker had also taken her dad’s car without permission.
