Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18

3:10 a.m. Police arrested a 24-year-old Bremerton man for possession of an illegal substance.

Officers followed a car with a malfunctioning taillight traveling north on Highway 305.

Near NE Day Road, the vehicle’s hazard lights went on and the driver pulled into the park-and-ride on Phelps Road NE.

When questioned, the driver was rummaging near the steering wheel and said he was having trouble with the car, which belonged to his boss and which he had been using to move some wood.

When police remarked on the odd hour, he did not respond.

When asked for his license, the driver said he didn’t think that was necessary and offered his boss’ information.

Police said they needed his license, as he was the driver.

The man said the whole thing was a waste of time and began to argue that he was not driving but only traveling in a vehicle.

He finally did give police his name and date of birth, which revealed he was a habitual offender. Once he was arrested, police found a sock in his jacket pocket which contained a glass pipe coated in black residue.

FRIDAY, JUNE 17

5:10 a.m. Several Bainbridge Island Rowing Club boats were untied from the city dock and set adrift in Eagle Harbor.

They were found beached next to the bridge at the waterfront park. No damage was apparent to the boats and rowing club members agreed to retrieve them at high tide.

Three more vessels were discovered beached next to the ferry maintenance facility. When contacted, facility workers agreed to tow the boats back to the dock.

It appeared that the vessels were intentionally untied and set adrift.
