Bail was set at $500,000 in Kitsap County Superior Court Dec. 23 for a 64-year-old Port Orchard man charged with assault with a deadly weapon for pulling a gun on a man after he was slapped.
He faces 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Court records say Port Orchard police responded to the 500 block of South Street Dec. 21 at 4:14 p.m. The victim said the suspect pulled a gun and said he would shoot him. The suspect was frisked by police, and he had a .38 revolver on him.
He said the argument was over his dog. The suspect said the victim was trespassing on his property feeding his dogs things to kill it.

That neighbor hadn’t been allowed in the house for some time due to drug use.
He showed up anyway at a party there, and was asked to leave because he was “acting out and being crazy” after drinking. He eventually was thrown down to the pavement in the driveway, and his father picked him up and took him home. The victim’s father used to be a Navy corpsman so he stapled the victim’s wound to bind it. The suspect said he didn’t hit anyone, but they hit him trying to get him to leave. The suspect’s father said he drove his son around to try to cool him off, but wouldn’t let him out of the car, so the suspect broke the passenger window.

Warrant arrest for
home burglary

Police received the OK to go into the home when the trespasser would not come out.
After the arrest it was noticed by police the house was in disarray. The man said he was doing repairs for the owner. He then said he was doing yard work, but the rake broke. Both were lies, the owner of the homes said. There was evidence of drug use and bolt cutters were used to strip copper wire, which is often sold to scrap yards for drug money.
