9:06 a.m. A 66-year-old Bainbridge man took his dog for a walk just before 9 a.m. on Agate Pass Road and found his mailbox, and mailboxes from his neighbors, open. Junk mail was scattered on the ground nearby.
The man told police he had been targeted for mail theft before, and noted he had not picked up his mail Friday.

8:31 p.m. Officers responded to a report of domestic violence on the north end. Police found the woman who had called 911 was extremely intoxicated, and no violence had taken place.
Police were called back to the home two more times, with the final call coming from the husband.
He said his wife had been drinking hard alcohol since mid-day, and had been binge drinking for the past three months. The man had tried to get the woman, 44, help with her drinking problem, but she did not believe she had a problem.
The husband also said he had been drinking. He said his wife, for some unknown reason, put on a bikini and started dancing around the house. She became confrontational with him, he went to the couch and then heard her call 911. He told police that officers had been to the home three days earlier after she had threatened to kill herself, and she had become upset with him after she had been taken to Harrison Hospital for an evaluation.
The woman agreed to take a breath test for police, and the results came back at .267. She declined help from an aid crew.
Police left after determining she was alert and not a danger to herself, but came back to the home when the husband called 20 minutes later to say his wife said she was going to walk to the casino, and he was afraid she would be hit by a car. Police found her stumbling in the street and took her home.
The woman tried to leave the home again but decided she couldn’t with the deck lights on, so she started to break the lights. While police were still at the home, she went back inside and started swinging at her husband. She knocked off his hat and then hit him on the head, but he was not injured.
Officers arrested the woman for fourth-degree assault. She was booked into Kitsap County Jail and bail was set at $500.
