Selected reports from the Bainbridge Police Department blotter.

MONDAY, OCT. 3

4:36 p.m. A 72-year-old Bainbridge Island woman called police to report that a delivery driver in an unmarked white van had run over her plants — including an azalea her mother had planted — and lawn. She believed the driver had done it on purpose.

The woman said she had been raking leaves when the van had sped down her driveway, the man driving “like he was going to a fire.”

She said the van had no logo or company name on it.

Unable to navigate the driveway, the driver managed to get the van stuck in the yard. He spun his tires, damaging a tree’s roots and further tearing up the grass. At one point he backed into a laurel hedge and broke a rear passenger side taillight.

Police photographed the remaining shards and glass and collected it to be disposed of, but the woman insisted they put it back so that she could also document it.

The driver did not deliver anything, but told the woman he was looking for a nearby address. When she complained of the damage he’d done, the driver told her to “call FedEx.” She did, and was informed that all Federal Express vans are clearly marked.

SUNDAY, OCT. 2

6:08 p.m. A bicyclist and the driver of a pickup truck were involved in a heated disagreement. The cyclist called police to report the driver for reckless behavior and said he had threatened him.

Police found the vehicle, which was towing a large trailer, and followed it back to the driver’s residence.

The cyclist claimed he had been passed by the truck while traveling west on the hill near Wilkes Elementary School. He stayed on the road, he said, because there is no shoulder where he could safely navigate his road bike. He said he did not at first realize the truck was pulling a trailer — which he said was “illegal” — and he was taken aback. He also said the truck was traveling left of the centerline and passing in a no-passing zone. He sped up to catch the truck and record the license plate, at which point the driver said he, “was going to [expletive] kill you.”

Police said the cyclist was distraught, his voice cracking and clearly on the verge of tears over the phone. He said he was upset the driver had put him in peril when he could have easily taken Phelps and Hidden Cove, roads with wider shoulders.

The truck driver claimed the cyclist was in the middle of the hill when he decided to pass, moving very slowly and refusing to move to the side at all. When the cyclist approached him again on the other side of the hill, the driver said, he had shouted, “Obey the law.”

With no other witnesses, neither man was cited.
