Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.
SUNDAY, AUG. 9
6:07 p.m. A 53-year-old Bainbridge woman reported a theft in the 6800 block of NE Koura Road.
Sometime between Friday night on Aug. 7 and the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 9 someone came onto her property and removed a 1972 Johnson Kicker outboard motor from a boat left in a field. Only the motor was taken and nothing else.
The woman said she paid $50 for the motor at a Rotary auction years ago, but had been offered a lot more money for it since then.
The motor had an estimated value of $100.
SATURDAY, AUG. 8
1:19 a.m. Police pulled over a 60-year-old Poulsbo man in a 2003 Porsche Boxster 986 after an officer saw him driving 35 mph in a 25 mph zone and roll through a stop sign at Madison Avenue and Wallace Way.
The driver immediately told the officer he was not speeding, but the officer noted that he sped through the intersection so quickly his Porsche nearly lost traction.
The officer asked the driver for his license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver picked up his cell phone and began tapping. After a nearly minute-long wait, the driver looked back at the officer and asked, “What do you need?”
The officer again asked for his license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver fumbled with his wallet and found his license, then started looking in his glove box. He grabbed his registration, looked at it, then put it back into the glove box. He then began tapping on his cell phone again.
He soon stopped, put down the phone and asked again, “What do you need?”
The officer asked for his registration and insurance.
The driver reached into his glove box and retrieved his registration, then started tapping on his phone again. He handed the officer an expired insurance card.
The driver smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred. When asked how much he had to drink before driving, he said he was at a Bainbridge High reunion and it started at 5 p.m. He said he had consumed one drink per hour since then.
The driver was given roadside sobriety tests and failed. When asked to say the alphabet beginning with the letter M, the driver began mouthing the alphabet and started saying it out loud when he got to M, but had trouble when he got to the letter U.
When asked to rate his sobriety on a scale of one to 10 (with one being “stone cold sober” and 10 “fall down drunk”), the driver said three.
He was given a voluntary breath test and it had a reading of .125.
The man was arrested for DUI and his vehicle was impounded.
Later breath tests had readings of .136 and .129.
The man was taken to Kitsap County Jail and booked.
