Jefferson County Sheriff's Log | Trouble at the ticket counter

Posted

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 293 calls for service between Saturday, May 6 and Friday, May 12. Below are selected reports.

At 9:08 p.m. Monday, May 8 in Quilcene, a caller reported an injured deer that was blocking the northbound lane of Center Road. The caller said the deer was trying to get up but could not.

The deer was dispatched and dragged to the side of the road. A passerby stopped and called a friend to come harvest the meat.

At 1:35 p.m. Tuesday, May 9 in Brinnon, a woman said her husband had been charged for an airline ticket he didn’t ask for at the service desk for Alaska Airlines.

The woman called the company and was told it was a fraudulent ticket.

Two tickets had been purchased, but the caller’s husband was told by a company employee that his ticket was not valid and he was charged $179 for the second ticket.

The woman called police after talking with Alaska Airlines. She was told by the company the ticket fraud had been “an inside job” and the incident will be handled by the company’s fraud department. The woman was advised to call local law enforcement.

The woman’s credit card company was notified and did not charge the woman’s account for the ticket purchase.
