TUESDAY, MAY 26

8:22 p.m. An official with the Safeway on High School Road informed police a regular customer, 62, of Bainbridge, had assaulted him and then been trespassed and was no longer welcome in the store.

He supplied security video of the event as collaboration.

The store employee said he came upon the older man in the deli section after hearing loud noises around the store. He was “making very loud sheep noises.”

The employee confronted the man and told him to calm down or he’d have to leave, at which point the man began screaming at him “about politics and the governor.”

He was asked to leave.

The man said the customer then threw the link sausages he was holding at him and said he “wished he could beat the [expletive] out of me because I’m the one causing all the problems with this virus BS.”

The employee responded, “Hey, man, I’m just trying to live here. I need you to leave the store.”

After shouting and cursing at other people nearby, the man did leave the store.

The Safeway official said, “I feel like this individual wanted to hurt me and anyone who got in his way. This man is dangerous and is no longer welcome on Safeway property,” though he declined to proceed with an assault charge.

SATURDAY, MAY 30

2:08 p.m. Police were called to a pharmacy when a 52-year-old Bainbridge woman faked having a seizure after being refused the purchase of alcohol due to her obvious intoxication.

They had previously responded to the same situation, involving the same woman at the same location the day before.

Upon the officer’s arrival, paramedics had already examined the woman and found she did not require medical care. They also said she’d been faking seizures throughout their exam so as to thwart their attempt to assess her condition.

Police spoke with the woman, who they said had officers responding “at least once a day to 911 calls she made or had someone make on her behalf, which were not emergencies.” They explained it was crime to make false reports and abuse the 911 system.

When the woman stopped undulating in the lawn chair where she’d been sat, police reminded her she was likely violating a court order not to use alcohol.

Each time police began explaining the consequences of her behavior, the woman began flopping around again.

Police called the woman’s landlord, who agreed to come pick her up, as he’d done the day before. He said he’d driven the woman to a hospital in Silverdale then, but partway through doctors explaining her options, she’d walked out, saying she did not want medical care.

No arrest was made.

A report was filed.
