Dec. 22 — Disturbance: Caller reported that subjects were throwing garbage bags out of an older red van. Two officers responded.
When they got to the scene, an officer from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife was with the two subjects and the van. It turned out they were not dumping garbage.
The bags were full of cans, and were stacked behind the van. The officers advised the subjects that they were on private property, and they needed to leave. No one had a driver’s license, and they were going to call someone to come and drive them.
Traffic complaint: There were multiple reports and near collisions involving a blacked out blocking disabled vehicle with no one around. Upon arrival an officer observed the vehicle was out of the roadway and in the Cove Restaurant driveway.
A male subject told him he just pushed the truck out of the roadway. He also told the officer he was trying to help the owner get the vehicle back to her residence. The subject’s license is suspended, with an ignition interlock requirement. A Washington Crime Information Center/National Crime Information Center check disclosed his last felony conviction was for taking a motor vehicle without permission.
The officer contacted the registered owner by phone, and she confirmed the male subject had permission to move the vehicle for her, and she stated she did not know his license was suspended. The officer did not witness the subject operating the vehicle, and no witnesses to him operating the vehicle were identified. The officer left after the vehicle was moved into a parking stall.
Dec. 23 — Disturbance: Caller reported that her sister was having a fit, and other mental health issues, but nothing physical had happened. Two officers responded. One spoke with the caller, and she told him that her sister had been yelling at her and told her to go kill herself. She said they both live at the house with their mom and another 16-year-old sister. The caller also has a 3-year-old daughter, and she told the officer that she was just concerned for the child, and everything had calmed down since she called.
The officer then spoke with the sister, who told him that the caller was the one who had started the argument, and was the first to tell the sister to kill herself. She then showed the officer a short recording of the argument in which the caller could be heard yelling at the sister to kill herself. Both subjects could be heard yelling insults at each other.
No probable cause was developed for a crime. The officer provided both subjects with a domestic violence resource packet, and the number for mobile crisis support.
The caller also told the officer that several months prior, her sister assaulted her in the kitchen. He told her there was not anything the police could do, since it took place so long ago.
She also asked what she should do if her ex-boyfriend broke their no-contact order. The officer told her to call when it’s happening. She said the last incident was approximately one month ago. The officer checked, and there were no active orders between the two.
The sisters also told the officers that their mother was on her way back from Vancouver. One said that the 16-year-old was out walking the dog, but would likely go to her boyfriend’s house. Both subjects said there was no issue with them being near each other, and the officers left.
Caller said a male subject tried to slash her tires and fight her. She stated he left on foot and she was leaving. Dispatch advised they were unable to call her back because of a 9-1-1 prefix.
An officer responded to the area, and spoke with a male subject at the car wash next to the laundromat who stated he knew who the female caller was, but he could not remember the male’s name, but he had a short red bob and was on foot, walking north.
The officer asked him to tell the female party to call back if she wanted to make a report, and he advised he would tell her. The officer eventually located a male subject matching the description, and he was not very receptive to speaking with the officer.
Dec. 24 — Theft: Caller at an RV park said her food package was stolen from the office area two hours earlier. An officer responded, and located the package and delivered it to her.
Dec. 25 — The next door neighbor reported that the light in the neighbor’s house was on, and it was supposed to be vacant. Two officers responded, and the house was locked up and the windows appeared untouched. No responsible party was listed for this address.
Missing person: Caller reported that her boyfriend stormed off towards the beach about an hour earlier after they got into a verbal argument, and she was concerned about him. The officer looked around for two hours, and when he went back to speak with the caller, she was gone. He checked the Best Western, where she said they were staying, and they were both back at the hotel. He then spoke with both parties, and they stated they were both OK.
Dec. 26 — A front desk employee at the Best Western called and stated that a couple was arguing in the lobby, and the female subject stated the male subject broke her pinky. An officer responded, and it was the same female subject from the earlier missing persons call.
The male subject was sitting outside, and the officer asked him to explain what was going on. He was calm and appeared less intoxicated than the female subject. He stated she got angry again and fell, injuring her pinky when he was trying to leave the room.
She stated that he broke her pinky, and showed the officer her pinky. The pinky did appear to have some minor swelling. She was incoherent drunk, and it was hard to have a conversation with her.
The officer attempted to keep the parties separated, but she would not listen to him. Her story also did not add up with what she was saying. She became more irate as the conversation went on. She eventually walked up to the officer when he was trying to talk with the male subject separately, and would not listen to the officer when he asked her to leave the area. He then grabbed her by the arm and guided her away.
The officer did not believe there was enough probable cause to make an arrest. The male subject got himself a hotel room to stay in separately from the female subject. The officer again asked the female subject if she wanted aid, and she stated she wanted ice from the hotel.
Caller advised that a male subject was stating things about how he wanted revenge on MAGA, and had left in an unknown direction. The caller told the officer that the male was making comments to the front desk yesterday, as well.
The officer called and spoke to the woman at the front desk, and she described the male as possibly having mental health issues, and how he was angry at the Republican Party. She described him as 6 feet 3 inches tall, with brown hair that was pulled back, and was carrying a camouflage backpack. He has a full beard and his name is out of Colorado. Their cameras don’t work, so there’s no photo of him. She gave the officer the phone number, and he advised the front desk that they can call the police if the male subject returns.
The officer drove through the area and did not observe anyone who matched the description.
The front desk called the officer back and gave him a Department of Licensing number for the male subject that was out of Colorado. The officer asked Dispatch to see if they could find a DOL photo of him. The photo will be placed on the white board if the officer receives one.
Dec. 28 — Caller said she stopped in Long Beach briefly today, and when she got back to Ocean Shores, she noticed all of her credit cards, debit cards and ID were missing from her purse. She was calling to see if they got turned in. A message was left for her stating that nothing had been turned in yet.
