Nov. 3 — Two officers were dispatched to a call of a man in blue jeans and a black hoodie making people uncomfortable and karate-chopping the air, walking toward Freedom Market, and they contacted the subject in front of the bookstore. He was drunk, and he was told to sit and wait for his bus.
A Freedom Market employee had also reported the subject, stating he had just left their store under the influence of something, and ran at a car driving in the roadway.
Nov. 6 — Caller reported that a newer tan Toyota Tacoma made contact with the fence at the Mermaid Inn. Three officers responded. The vehicle struck Mermaid Inn’s fence, and also caused damage to the Pioneer Market’s fence. No one was around the scene. Pioneer Market employees were leaving, and an officer asked them if they saw anything, and they said they did not. They stated they only heard it.
One of the officers went to talk to the owner of Mermaid Inn, while another checked the vehicles in the mobile home park on the back of the property. He located a vehicle matching the description, with damage to the front of the vehicle. A male subject came out of the residence where the truck was parked and identified himself as the driver of the vehicle, and admitted to striking the fence on his way in. He was identified, and he stated he had texted about what happened.
The officers decided no report was needed, and they left. An officer will stop by Pioneer Market in the morning, and let them know they identified who caused the damage and ask if they need a copy of this report.
Nov. 7 — Caller stated that a male subject was acting insane and swinging a metal object. Someone from the Port advised that the subject swung at them, but there was no mention of a metal object. Three officers searched the area for the subject, and located him at the Heritage Museum on Lake Street, where he was detained. There were no charges pressed against the subject, but the Port did want him 86’ed. A form was filled out and handed to the subject, and he was advised not to go on the property.
The Port of Ilwaco called and stated that the male subject was seen back on the property. Two officers searched the area for him. The caller was contacted by phone, and he advised the officer that his boss is the one who saw the subject. The officer spoke with his boss down on the dock, and the subject did not go on port property. The officers left.
Nov. 8 — Caller reported a 5-foot 10-inch white male subject, with no beard and bald/short hair, and wearing a grey sweatshirt and pants was “challenging” drivers. Two officers responded. One of them spoke with the caller, and he said the male “bucked” up to him. He said the subject was currently in front of the fire department.
The two officers then went to the fire department and contacted a different subject, who did not match the description whatsoever. He stated that the original male subject had been there with him, but had just left. The officers searched the area, but were unable to locate the first subject.
Nov. 9 — Caller reported a man was yelling for 10 minutes, and he saw someone on the ground. Two officers responded, and found the subject walking up First Avenue. He reported that he fell and broke his hip. Medix transported him to Ocean Beach Hospital.
Curtis K. McKenzie was booked at the jail on a citation for malicious mischief for damaging a parked vehicle and breaking out a window at the Port of Ilwaco, trespassing and assault, and a confirmed third-degree driving while license suspended warrant.
