Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SATURDAY, JULY 22

2:30 p.m. A 50-year-old Seattle man was arrested for violating a no-contact order and going within 500 feet of his ex-girlfriend’s home.

Responding to a call that the man was near the residence, police arrived to find him on the other side of the street, more than the required distance away.

He claimed he had not been near the home, though a bicycle he’d been seen riding was in the parking lot of the home, only about 50 feet away.

The man said he had no idea how his bike got there, and then left on foot.

Later, another call summoned police to the same address after the caller said the man had been seen walking his bicycle into the lot again and leaning his bike against a car. Police arrived and found the man walking nearby.

He was arrested.

5:58 p.m. The owner of a business near the Island Village Shopping Center called police regarding a possible attempted break-in. The lock box outside his shop’s door had been vandalized. The key to the shop is kept inside the box, which requires a pass code to open.

Of the nine numbered buttons on the box, at least one had been practically ripped off, exposing wires and springs.

Nothing was missing from inside the store, the man said. Though the shop itself is alarmed and has video cameras, the area where the lock box is located isn’t monitored.

A report was made.
