Mailboxes gone through overnight

June 4: An officer was dispatched to the 20200 block of 130th Court NE where a pile of mail had been found in the road. Rain and traffic had destroyed most of it, and the officer also found that many of the mail boxes in the area were either partially or completely open. It appears that unknown suspects had gone through mailboxes and discarded junk mail in the street during the night. There is no further information at this time.

A sometimes angry neighbor is unsettling to family

June 5: A man drove into his driveway and as he got out of the car he heard his neighbor call him names and threaten to do him bodily harm.The driver went in to ask his wife to witness the neighbor’s verbal assault. This incident lasted approximately five minutes, but was not an isolated incident. The man’s son had been verbally attacked on three different occasions. According to the man filing the complaint, it is alarming to his entire family because they don’t know if the neighbor will be threatening and angry or will be meek, almost shy. He has requested in writing to have a no contact order and is planning to file charges. There is no further information at this time.

JUNE 3: A Ford truck was clocked going 10 miles over the limit as it sped by the patrol car in a Carnation school zone. The driver had an expired driver’s license, expired license plate, expired registration and no insurance. Dispatch brought up that she was driving with a License Suspended 3rd degree. She did have a dog in the vehicle who was taken into custody by her friend. The vehicle was impounded and traffic citations issued.

JUNE 3: Mailboxes were vandalized. One of the victims reported that hers had no mail in it and the damage was not interfering with the use of the box. Photos were taken. No mail theft has been reported, lessening the fear of identity theft.

JUNE 7: A head-on collision occurred in Duvall with one of the drivers complaining of back pain and the other driver crying and very upset. Both vehicles had damage.

Driver 2 claimed the right-of-way because she was more than halfway through the intersection before she struck Driver 1.

However, Driver l claimed she had the right-of-way because she pulled to the stop line first and was at a stop when struck by Driver 2. This occurred as they met at the intersection at NE Stephens St and NE 3rd avenue. The collision was witnessed by someone who said the impact was strong enough to cause Driver 2 to bounce backwards. Medical aid checked the participants and the accident scene was cleared. Only one vehicle was drivable on its own steam.

JUNE 8: An anti-harassment order might have inspired someone to select a person’s car windows to be written on with “Stupid .....” and “He’s cheating on you!”. A person-of-interest had recently been issued an anti-harassment order and is a possible suspect. The victim asked that this be documented for possible further use.

JUNE 8: A Ford truck was noticed missing windows and had a broken windshield. The driver also had a suspended license for unpaid tickets and was well known to police but he said, “I am this close to getting my license back.”

However, in the meantime, he was photographed, fingerprinted, put under arrest for Driving with License Suspended for unpaid tickets, and the vehicle was impounded.

JUNE 10: A male who is well-known to the police for driving without a license came into view. The driver is known for being a habitual traffic offender. When asked why he was driving, he answered that he needed to make a living and was hungry. The officer explained that he was driving while his license was suspended. His answer was, “I know.” He was given a new address ... the Issaquah jail.

JUNE 11: A female had been stopped for the second time in three days. When she exited the vehicle to go into a store in Carnation, dispatch revealed that she was still under a Driving With License Suspended charge.

When she came out of the store, police contact was made and advised that she was under arrest. She became very upset and asked that the policeman leave so she could drive away. She continued stating that she knew she was suspended and she only drove to Carnation so she could get gas for her car.

With a policeman on either arm and against her objections, handcuffs were installed as she continued in her angry mode. Her car was towed.
