The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 177 calls for service between Saturday, Dec. 25 and Friday, Dec. 31. Below are selected reports.

At 1:46 p.m. Monday, Dec. 27 in Brinnon, the fire department called law enforcement to report a person who was abusing 911 services.

The department reported a man who made repeated calls with the same statement — “I’m sicker than hell” — but then refused assistance when an aid unit responded. He then called again with the same complaint.

The man had called four times in the past couple of days.

After a subsequent call, the man finally agreed to seek treatment and get transported for medical care.

At 10:32 p.m. Monday, Dec. 27 in Port Ludlow, a caller said someone rang the doorbell, and the resident could see a vehicle in the driveway with its emergency flashers on.

The caller had not been expecting anyone, and the man driving the car appeared to be wearing a headlamp.

The man then slowly drove away.

A deputy checked the area but was unable to locate the vehicle.

At 9:38 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 28 in Port Hadlock, a man said someone tried to burglarize his trailer and a vehicle on the property.

An unknown suspect was heard pounding on the trailer door the previous night, followed by banging on both sides of his trailer.

The caller said the same person pounded on his car and tried to get into it.

The caller could not provide a description of the intruder, but said the neighbor’s dog started barking and that must have scared the person away.

A deputy checked the area and could only find old footprints in the snow that were going to and from the man’s door.

The resident asked for assistance in getting water, as he was unable to walk, and the deputy loaned him his cell phone to call OlyCAP and other resources from a handout he had been given during a previous contact. The deputy also took out the man’s garbage for him.

The burglary report was determined to be unfounded.

At 4:12 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 28 in Chimacum, a woman said her windshield wipers had been broken in an act of malicious mischief. 

She gave the name of a suspect, who she said had previously deflated her tires.

She thought the wipers were damaged as an act of retaliation.

There was no evidence found to support the claim the windshield wipers had been damaged.

At 1:02 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 29 in Port Hadlock, a store employee reported a case of shoplifting that had happened at noon.

The worker had video surveillance footage that he said showed the theft.

A deputy reviewed the video but was unable to determine if anything had actually been stolen.

An information-only report was taken.

At 1:24 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 29 in Sequim, a caller in the Eagle Creek Road area said a drift boat and trailer had been stolen overnight or early in the morning.

The boat was described as dark orange with a brown pattern, and was 18 feet long.

The boat and trailer had been parked in the yard. The loss was estimated at $2,500 to $3,000.

There were no suspects.
