Local Crime Watch Report
Compiled by Gloria Nelson from police reports

JUNE 15: A bank bag was taken from the safe of a Duvall store sometime between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and had contained $13,595 involving mostly checks from rent and customers. A suspicious male was around the area about that time and said he was looking for the bathroom. He was a pretty solid citizen of about 5’6” and 180 pounds, wearing khaki slacks with khaki T-shirt. He had dark, short hair and a mustache.

JUNE 15: A loud crash and a witness looked up to see a “glossy” black, small, two-door pickup truck with gray trim and extended cab and full-length bed with a bale of hay in it pull away from a fence on Stossel Ave.

The driver left two 6’ sections and the posts of the fence knocked over and a third section and post damaged. A gouge was approximately 30 inches high and appeared to be from a bumper. There were tracks in the grass leading towards the fence and away from it.

Interestingly, a male had purchased two bales of hay earlier in the day and was driving a black pickup and paid for the bales with a check that revealed his ID and Carnation as his town. However, upon examining the truck it was concluded that it was not the vehicle in question.

The cost of repairing the fence was estimated between $1,000 – $1,200. Prosecution will occur if the suspect is located.

JUNE 16: A blue SUV with a white top had nearly hit a vehicle while leaving a sports bar in Duvall. As the officer continued following her into Snohomish County on 203 he observed it drifting over the center line.

The cross-over was about half a car width and then the driver would correct back to driving on the shoulder and continued this to High Rock Rd. where the officer was able to stop her.

When she rolled down the window a huge whiff of intoxicant blasted the officer. He noticed her eyes were glassy and she’d squint and then open them wide. She admitted to three drinks … earlier. She apparently knew the office and asked him, “Come on ___, can’t you just follow me home?”

She agreed to submit to a series of voluntary field sobriety tests. Although she said she understood the tests, she did not follow instructions and was unable to perform them as instructed.

She refused the preliminary breath test. She was advised she was under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol, handcuffed and was escorted to the patrol car where she was searched and secured and her Miranda rights given and the state patrol was notified.

A passenger took the preliminary breath test and since she tested over the legal limit, she was escorted home and the keys to the vehicle were transferred to the state patrol.

JUNE 16: A policeman was accompanying a social worker who was going to serve some papers on a female.

The papers included warrants for Obstructing Law Enforcement Officer, Driving With License Suspended 3rd degree and DUI’s out of Snoqualmie and King County.

However, her roommate said she was sleeping but maybe walking in her sleep, too, for she apparently tore the screen and fled out the bedroom window.

She was found hiding underneath some leaves in woods near the apartment building from which she’d run. She then became an actor and played deaf when the officer questioned her.

She pretended to pass out and requested handcuff adjustment. Medics were contacted who checked her vitals and said she was fine.

She acted quite normal when the medics were checking her over but when the officers were with her she went into her “other self.” She admitted that she knew she had warrants out on her but she really didn’t want to go to jail.
