Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department.

Sunday, Dec. 28

5:39 p.m. Police were called to a domestic dispute between an 18-year-old and his 49-year-old father. An argument ensued between the pair after the teen returned from his girlfriend’s house and walked through the living room without saying anything to his mother and father on the couch before going to his bedroom.

When his father said to the teen’s mother, “See! That’s what I’m talking about,” the son said something disrespectful to his father. The father became very angry and began yelling, and the teen said he threw a half-full bottle of beer at him and it hit him in the hand.

The father then told the son to get out of the house, but the argument intensified after the son said he became afraid and pulled out a pocket knife. He then claimed his father took off his shirt and said, “do it.”

The mother stepped between the pair. Police declined to pursue charges due to a lack of physical injuries on the son and the conflicting stories the son and mother gave.

10:58 p.m. A 58-year-old man went off the road in the 4300 block of Old Mill Road.

When police arrived, an officer saw a man falling into a stack of trash cans, and it appeared he was trying to pick up trash from the cans after he had hit them with his 2002 Toyota truck.

Police told the man it looked like he had a lot to drink and he said he did.

He was given a breath test, which resulted in a reading of .10. The man was arrested for DUI, his third arrest for impaired driving.

An investigation determined the man was going north on Old Mill Road near New Sweden Avenue when he went off the road into a ditch, then came out of the ditch and hit an oak-barrel planter on one side of a driveway, then crossed the driveway and hit another planter, then hit a recycling bin and garbage can before going back into the ditch.

The driver also damaged the landscaping as he tried to back out of the ditch.

5:19 a.m. Police talked to an 18-year-old Bainbridge man at the scene of a crash on NE Yaquina Avenue where the teen had gone off the road in a 2002 Kia Sedona.

The driver said he had been going too fast down a hill and slid off the wet road. Police arrived three hours after the accident and couldn’t determine if the road had actually been wet.

The driver was told to call police during any future accident.
