Bainbridge blotter | Your son has been arrested

Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SUNDAY, MARCH 10

11:13 a.m. Police were forced to request a white Chevy Astro Van be towed after it was seemingly abandoned near Nicholson Place. A resident told police the van had been there for several days, and they’d spoken to a man claiming to be the owner who promised to move the vehicle.

He didn’t.

Police marked the vehicle for towing and placed a 24-hour notice on it.

They returned the next day, found the notice had been removed, but the vehicle still there. After several attempts to contact the registered owner, they requested the vehicle be towed and impounded.

2:55 p.m. A 24-year-old was arrested for driving with a suspended license.

Police saw the man driving a black Ford Focus, going in excess of the speed limit, while conducting traffic enforcement in the area of Madison Avenue North.

They ran the plate and found the registered driver’s license was suspended. They stopped the car near the intersection of High School Road and Sportsman Club Road, ascertained the driver was the owner and asked if he was aware his license was suspended.

The man said he was, and that it had been because he was not complying with ignition interlock conditions.

He was arrested, and his parents called, with his consent, to retrieve his car instead of having it impounded.
