Man hits kid ‘in self-defense’

A 42-year-old Poulsbo man was arrested for assaulting a juvenile Sept. 15.

When deputies arrived they noticed the juvenile’s shirt was torn and stretched out around the collar and fresh fingernail scratches around the neck area.

According to deputy reports, the man admitted to punching the juvenile in the eye “in self-defense.”

He was handcuffed and taken to jail. His bail was set at $5,000.
