Dial M for… Misdial
3:50 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 3 A mysterious 911 hang-up at the middle school had dispatchers bracing for classroom chaos, but it turned out to be nothing more than a misdialing pupil. Someone was likely just trying to reach an outside line, not the outside world. La Conner Middle School.
Slow Motion Commotion
10:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 5 A vehicle moving at a sloth’s pace along Pioneer Parkway was clearly no candidate for a speeding ticket, but roused suspicions. After all, it’s hard enough to go the 25 m.p.h. speed limit. Going under that takes talent. Turns out, no DUI — just a suspended license. The driver got a citation and permission to park the car at Pioneer Park for a time-out. Pioneer Parkway.
Gate Expectations
2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 6 An employee reported a boat-yard gate “knocked over,” but upon deputy inspection, the gate was standing tall with no dents, no drama and no nautical nonsense. Whatever happened, it clearly didn’t rise to the gate-keeping level of a crime. Pearle Jensen Way.
Ditch Perfect
6:15 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 7 A driver who missed a turn near North and East Pearle Jensen Way executed an accidental off-road “flip” and landed in a ditch. No injuries, and the driver arranged their own tow — talk about taking ownership of a rollover. Pearle Jensen Way.
