Ouch, Hook, Line, and Injury
Tuesday, June 3, 3:44 p.m. Sometimes the catch of the day catches back. A person aboard a fisheries boat took a painful tumble into an open hatch, sustaining a large cut to their leg. The injured party was quickly brought back to shore via vessel and transferred to medical personnel. While the injury was significant, it is not considered life-threatening. Swinomish Channel.
Key Evidence
Wednesday, June 4, 1:00 p.m. In a case straight out of Sherlock Holmes: The Sedan Files, a set of car keys turned up outside the La Conner Tavern. The Sheriff took a hands-on (and thumbs-on-the-lock-button) approach, roaming the streets until a vehicle beeped in confession. Using the registration, he tracked down the unsuspecting owner — who had no idea they’d misplaced their keys. Second Street.
Bushed and Bruised
Thursday, June 5, 6:20 p.m. A male subject, described as heavily intoxicated and struggling to remain upright, was seen falling into shrubbery near a sidewalk. By the time deputies arrived, the man had vanished — presumably escorted home by a family member seen with him earlier. No further action was taken. Morris Street.
Scrape and Run
Sunday, June 8, 2:30 p.m. A parked vehicle was found damaged, the likely result of a hit-and-run. Deputies are investigating and seeking any leads or witnesses. If your car got up close and personal with someone else’s, now would be a good time to come clean. Center Street.
The police blotter is a summary of recent law enforcement activity in and around La Conner.
