The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 340 calls for service between Friday, Feb. 3 and Friday, Feb. 10. Below are selected reports.
At 9:56 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 9 in Port Hadlock, a detective applied for a search warrant to recover stolen property.
A missing mower was recovered, but not a tractor that was also stolen.
The mower was in the shop drying out so fingerprints could be obtained.
At 3:04 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9 in Port Ludlow, a burglary was reported at a property that had an out-of-town owner.
The caller was a neighbor and found the door to a shed kicked in. Locks had also been removed from outbuildings.
The caller said he looks after the property when the owners are away.
The break-in happened within the past two weeks.
It was determined that nothing was missing, and nothing of value had been stored inside the outbuildings.
At 3:50 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9 in Port Hadlock, a resident reported the theft of a car dollie he had rented from U-Haul.
The man said he had used the dollie to move a car and it had been sitting in his yard.
When he got up, he discovered the dollie was gone.
The man said he had already contacted the rental company to report the theft.
A deputy contacted U-Haul and was told the company would do some research and report back.
At 8:11 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9 in Port Hadlock, an employee at Navy Federal Credit Union reported a call from a customer incarcerated in Jefferson County Jail.
The inmate wanted to complain about conditions in the jail. He claimed he was threatened by staff and not allowed to reach out to his family for assistance. The inmate said he had special needs and was worried about his own needs and welfare.
The concerns included not being allowed to call his mother, not being allowed to get medical care, having untreated neck pain, and not receiving the correct mental health medications.
Deputies said the complaints were all easily disproven.
A captain met with on-duty jail staff and was told the inmate had refused his medications.
The inmate had also claimed jail staff was going to make him fight a cellmate if he pushed the assistance button again.
The allegation was said to be unfounded. The inmate was locked down for the night and staff will consider moving him to a crisis cell.
