Nov. 16: An Orcas Island man who reportedly collided several times with a boat and trailer before leaving his home in the 100 block of Spruce Street was later arrested for DUI. The 32-year-old, who was on probation for a prior DUI conviction at the time, reportedly left home in his car for a brief trip at about 10 p.m. and was arrested shortly after his return.

Excessive speed led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man following an early morning traffic stop in the 800 block of Olga Road. The 34-year-old reportedly was driving with a suspended license at the time.

Nov. 18: A Lopez Island man reportedly shot one of his neighbor's two dogs after several hours of trying to prevent the pair from chasing sheep in a field in the 200 block of Airport Road. The man, who initially saw the dogs in the pasture at about 4:30 a.m., caught the two dogs shortly before 2 p.m. The sheep were reportedly uninjured and the wounded dog, to whom authorities sent a warning letter, was treated by a veterinarian shortly after it was shot.

Nov. 19: The search for a runaway Orcas Island teen led to the discovery of an underage drinking party and the arrest of a 17-year-old girl and 18-year-old man on alcohol-related charges. The girl was charged with furnishing a place for minors to drink and the man with being a minor in possession of alcohol and violating court orders after officers found the reported runaway teen at a home in the 1200 block of Crow Valley Road.

Nov. 22: An Orcas Island man who reportedly stole $7,000 in electronic equipment during a series of burglaries faces felony theft charges after surrendering to officers. The 31-year-old, who allegedly was in possession of three multi-media projectors, a laptop computer and DVD player, all of which disappeared from the high school, turned himself in at the Sheriff's headquarters in Eastsound.
