Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SATURDAY, JUNE 10

11:22 a.m. A report of vandalism brought police to Strawberry Hill Park, where somebody had apparently used fireworks to damage the toilets.

Two stalls were destroyed in the bathroom. The damage was estimated at about $600. There are no suspects.

10:51 p.m. A 50-year-old Bainbridge man was arrested for assault after police were called to the home of his girlfriend in the wake of a violent domestic dispute.

The woman, 31, said the man was her boyfriend, that they’d been dating for about three years, and that he’d been physical with her before, though she never felt comfortable reporting it.

That night, she said, the man had been in her home, they’d both been drinking, and an argument broke out about what he said was her unfairly easy treatment of her ex-husband on the subject of childcare and money. The argument intensified, so much so that the woman called a friend and asked her to stay on the phone with her until the man calmed down. Meanwhile, she took a knife with her into the bathroom and locked the door.

Later, when she came out, the man continued his tirade until he eventually began to hit and punch the woman and took the phone away from her. As he was speaking to the friend on the phone, the woman fled the home without even stopping for shoes or a coat. She found a couple out walking their dogs and they called police for her.

Responding officers found the woman outside her home, on a bench, in her pajamas, crying. Upon examining the woman’s apartment, police found it to be ransacked and in disarray. Her arms were covered in many small bruises, as well.

Police arrested the man, who made no statement and offered no resistance.
