Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

TUESDAY, JULY 4

1:45 p.m. A motorcycle rider overturned while accelerating northbound through the intersection at Highway 305 and High School Road.

The driver, a 32-year-old Seattle man, said the bike had been overburdened with luggage and, upon the signal changing, he’d accelerated too rapidly, causing the bike to tip.

Both he and a rider and the luggage went over backward.

There were no serious injuries.

7:04 p.m. An 84-year-old Bainbridge man called police to his home to report that a seemingly intoxicated young woman had been sitting in a car parked on his property.

He had taken her keys away, he said, and the woman was fleeing the scene.

When police arrived, the woman was leaving, on foot, into the woods on the man’s West Port Madison property, but, due to the surrounding water, she was unable to escape and was apprehended.

The man told police he’d looked outside upon hearing noise earlier and seen the woman, 19, of Bainbridge Island, sitting in the driver’s seat of red Saab 900 convertible in his driveway.

When he’d gone out to ask what she was doing, he noticed she was “obviously intoxicated.”

She told him she was picking up a friend “from the water.”

As the property was surrounded by water, he asked if this friend was “coming by boat?”

The man told the driver to turn off the car and give him her keys, which she did, and then he called the police while she grabbed her purse and “a brown paper bag” and left on foot.

The officers concurred that the woman seemed intoxicated and asked if she would submit to a sobriety test, but she refused.

She was arrested for Physical Control of a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated.

Then, upon searching her purse, police found a prescription drug container with the label peeled off. Inside they found three whole pills and two broken pieces of pills, which the label on the pills indicated was Xanax.

The woman refused to answer any questions, and was then also arrested for possession of prescription medication in an unmarked container. She was taken back to the station, where she insisted police call her parents in order that they might contact a “family friend” who is an attorney. However, the woman’s cell phone had no power and every number she gave police to try was either incorrect or received no answer.

After speaking with the public defender, the woman submitted to a breath test, which showed her BAC to be .161.
