Women is dropped off at ER with a drug overdose

Aug. 1: An officer responded to Evergreen Hospital after the report of a drug overdose that had happened in Bothell or Woodinville.

Emergency room and security staff members reported that a tall, balding male, wearing a green sweatshirt and jeans arrived at the ER in a dark-colored minivan to drop off a woman involved in an apparent heroin overdose. The male left immediately. The woman told the officer that her overdose had not been intentional and she said she thinks she ingested about 40 cc’s in a half syringe.

The officer had several questions about the location of the party, but the woman said she did not remember where the party was exactly, but that it was near a skate park. There is no further information at this time.

Rear license plate stolen, replaced with another stolen one

Aug. 2: At approximately 2:50 p.m., an officer was called to the 18200 block of Woodinville-Snohomish Road to speak with a woman who reported that she walked out to her car and noticed a different license plate on the rear of her vehicle. The license plate attached to her car had been reported stolen from a vehicle in Mountlake Terrace.

Her rear license plate, 670-SPO, is still missing at this time.

There is no further information at this time.

JULY 31: Carnation mini-mall was apparently host to a theft of Kenwood speakers, jacket, gym shorts, prescribed medication and compact discs that collectively chalked up a bill of $260-$310.

AUG. 1: A shouting and taunting match occurred as a children’s exchange happened in Carnation. A report was filed so a protection order could be obtained. The police also suggested that they stay away from each other when the child exchanges occur.

AUG. 3: An inoperable license plate light brought a driver on Big Rock Road to a halt. The driver had her registration but she had left her driver’s license at home. She had also forgotten to mention that she had a Driving With License Suspended 3rd degree offense for unpaid tickets. This brought handcuffs out, a seat in the back of the patrol car and a tow for the vehicle. A courtesy ride home was provided for the one law-abiding passenger while the driver and one passenger ended up being booked for outstanding warrants.

AUG. 3: Someone who lacked a front license plate and had a cracked windshield was stopped and dispatch revealed that the driver also was driving with a suspended license in the 3rd degree for unpaid tickets. He was placed in handcuffs, the vehicle was towed, and he was booked at the Duvall Police Department, fingerprinted, photographed and issued a traffic infraction for the missing front license plate.

AUG. 4: A red Chevy truck was eastbound on Big Rock Rd. in a 35 mph zone but clocked much faster. When stopped, the driver wanted a “break” on speeding because to do otherwise would make problems for him. He stated that he wasn’t aware of anything illegal in the vehicle. However, the authorities did recover an 8-inch pipe often used to smoke methamphetamine. Another pipe was found behind the fuse box.

His insurance card he gave had a name printed on it but was later found to be a forged document. He had been suspended on Feb. 24, 2005 for eluding a police vehicle and his insurance company reported that he had not had a current insurance policy with them and the policy number had not existed since 1991.

Upon inspection of the truck a pipe was found containing some residue with the looks and smell used by marijuana smokers. While in the back of the patrol car, he stated that he knew his rights. But the police knew the law.

The Duvall prosecutor will take it from there.

AUG. 5: “Cyrus,” the K-9, and his master responded to a narcotics detection use. The search eventually led them to a public mini-storage in Bellevue where the suspect had rented a space. Various miscellaneous items were discovered that are commonly used in distributing narcotics. This concluded the Carnation-Duvall Police Department’s involvement and the matter was turned over to the Bellevue Police.

AUG. 5: After admitting to her boyfriend that she had previously consumed a pint of whisky, a female became angry. Seems he had gone fishing and apparently enjoyed himself too much resulting in being gone too long. Yelling, arguing, threatening, and tossing things when he arrived home was apparent as the police arrived. When interviewed by the police, the female says that her boyfriend always lies and she always ends up in trouble.

She wouldn’t discuss with the police the amount of intoxicants she’d consumed but the odor and actions indicated she’d imbibed plenty. She was advised of ways to handle such incidences in the future and since there was no assault and she had a place to go, the report was for information only.

AUG. 6: A policeman on patrol had to take evasive action and drive into a yard to avoid being hit by an oncoming motor vehicle. The vehicle also failed to stop for a posted stop sign. When stopped the driver appeared very intoxicated and smelled strongly of alcoholic beverages. When a driver’s license was requested, he presented a Washington State ID card which dispatch revealed had a suspended 3rd degree status. He was arrested and the vehicle was towed.
