San Juan County Sheriff’s Department reported responding to these calls:
Dec. 27: A late-night dispute among three people at a Shaw Island home, in which firearms were reportedly brandished, prompted all three to be taken into protective custody while an investigation ensued at the scene. Deputies were reportedly unable to determine the cause of the dispute or what happened in its wake, as the three involved gave conflicting accounts.
Jan. 1: Remnants of a “seal bomb” were turned in by a San Juan Island man who believes that someone used an explosive device to blow up a neighbor’s mailbox on Rainshadow Lane.
Jan. 4: About $120 in cash vanished from the San Juan Island animal shelter in an apparent after-hours break-in and theft.
Jan. 5: An Orcas Island couple were issued official warning No. 1 after their dogs were caught on camera roaming the property of a neighbor’s Magnolia Way home. The couple’s three dogs have reportedly been romping through the area on their own for the past eight months and are suspected of killing at least two deer.
• Packages of frozen beef valued at $400 and $150 cash vanished from a Lopez Island farm stand in an apparent theft. Located in the 2000 block of Port Stanley Road, the farm stand reportedly is open seven days a week, all hours of the day, functions without staff and operates on the “honor system”.
Jan. 6: A San Juan Island boy who reportedly drove off the road and into a ditch in the 100 block of Treeline Drive was arrested for DUI. The 17-year-old was taken into custody at the scene shortly before 11 p.m.
Jan. 9: Toiletries valued at $200 and $200 of prescription medication disappeared from a San Juan Island woman’s car in an apparent theft. Doors of the car were reportedly locked but one of its windows was rolled down about three inches at the time the 39-year-old left it in the rear parking lot of a Friday Harbor grocery store.
• A San Juan Island man accused of repeatedly showing up at a Friday Harbor woman’s home in spite of a no-contact order was arrested following the latest in a series of transgressions. The 50-year-old, released recently from jail, reportedly had gone to the woman’s home three to four times a day since his release.
