Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2

10:49 p.m. Police were called to the ferry terminal to a possible domestic disturbance in progress.

A 46-year-old Suquamish man approached the arriving officer. He said he and his girlfriend had been at a concert in Seattle and were on their way home. They got to the ferry terminal parking lot and tried to start their vehicle, but it would not start.

The man got very upset and threw the car’s jumper cables into a tree. The girlfriend tried to calm him down, which made him even more upset.

The man had gotten a spare set of cables and was trying to get his vehicle started when police arrived.

The woman said she called police because her boyfriend was yelling, and she didn’t want to be around him because it takes him a while to cool down after he gets angry.

The car was jump-started and the woman decided to go to a friend’s home.

The man took a cab home.

MONDAY, AUG. 31

12:09 p.m. A resident on Wallace Way reported the theft of a bunch of keys and a small tree sculpture that was valued at $500.

The resident said it looked like someone came in and grabbed the keys from a shelf inside the door, and the sculpture, which was the first small valuable-looking thing in sight.

5:10 p.m. An 88-year-old man lost control of his vehicle on rain-soaked Eagle Harbor Drive while heading into town.

The driver hit a sign, then a 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon, before going off the road into the ditch.

The driver was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
