Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5

6:32 p.m. Police were called to the field at Bainbridge High School’s Memorial Stadium when a father and stepfather “demonstrated that the high school soccer fields were too small for them.”

A 41-year-old Bainbridge man called police to say that while he’d been there watching his stepson play soccer he was verbally assaulted by the boy’s biological father for no reason. He said he’d been on the opposite side of the field, then brought water over and while on the other side, the other man, 42, of Bremerton, began “getting in his face” and repeatedly saying, “I’m going to get you.” He said he’d walked away and promptly called 911 because he was afraid of the other man who was “very scary to him” and “carried weapons.”

Police found no witnesses who agreed with the Bainbridge man’s story. In fact, many came forward to say it was exactly the opposite: that the island man had for no reason started harassing the Bremerton man.

The Bremerton man himself said he didn’t want to get anyone in trouble and insisted no physical contact had happened between the pair and no threats were made.

Police told the island man to record any future interactions with his stepson’s father.

The island man’s wife, the Bremerton’s man ex, at first sided with her husband’s version of events, then said she was on the opposite side of the field and did not see what happened and then rescinded her statement altogether.
