Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

FRIDAY, APRIL 15

8:40 a.m. A parks district employee called police to the park on Weaver Road to report vandalism to a concrete slab that had been recently poured.

Three names were etched into the fresh concrete: Deven, Kim and Danny.

The park department tried to brush the names out without success, and said new concrete would cost $3,000.

The parks worker said he has had trouble in the past with three kids who are believed to live in the Western Terrace Apartments; they are all 10 years old and are believed to have pulled up survey stakes and markers, and have left trash and made a mess in the construction area of the new park.

School records were being searched to find the juveniles.

2:38 p.m. An 80-year-old woman in a 1999 Volvo drove into the side of a 1992 Peterbuilt dump truck driven by a 37-year-old Port Orchard man.

Witnesses said the woman was near the intersection of Day Road and made a right turn into the side of the dump truck as she passed cars on the right that were headed to Highway 305.

The driver of the truck said he saw the woman’s vehicle entering the intersection and thought he would get hit but said he couldn’t move his truck in time because he was carrying a full load.

The woman said she had turned onto Miller Road and the dump truck had struck her.

Witness accounts and other information collected at the scene did not support her version of events. She was cited for failure to yield the right of way.

12:45 p.m. A 61-year-old Bainbridge man in a 2006 Volkswagen GTI was cited for inattentive driving after he was involved in an accident with a 72-year-old Bainbridge woman in a 1998 Honda CR-V.

The man was heading east on Northeast Lafayette Avenue and began to make a left turn when he struck the other driver.

The Volkswagen driver said he had a lot on his mind and was distracted. The road was also wet and he said he could not brake hard enough to avoid the impact after he had crested the hill.

He was cited for inattentive driving.
