The following is a sampling of reports filed last week by Port Orchard police officers. The descriptions should not be considered a full accounting of the reported incidents. They are summaries of those reports.

July 5

A police officer responded to a report of a vehicle crashing into the side of a building on the 1700 block of Pottery Avenue. On arrival, the officer found a 2013 white Mazda 3 pulling into a parking stall. When entering the building office, the officer saw a license plate hanging from the front bumper and part of the wall. The car had crashed into the building and caused large cracks to run up the sides of the wall. Paramedics also arrived and tended to the shook-up driver, who said she accidentally pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal, thereby sending the car into the wall.

The driver reported slight back pain and was transported by a friend to a hospital emergency room. Before leaving, she told the officer her car was drivable. Her husband was on his way to take it home.

A man reported to police that he was a victim of debit card fraud. He said three charges from July 4 had appeared on his bill, none of the transactions taking place in Port Orchard. He believes someone “cloned” his card and still has it with him. It was used at two gas stations in Suquamish and Auburn, as well as a motel in Bremerton.

The victim called the motel manager, who said the suspects tore up their room.

Police were dispatched to a Bethel Avenue department store’s parking lot to recover a reported stolen RV.

The owner of the RV told police he had inadvertently spotted it in the south parking lot while making a delivery to the store. He said a man was sitting inside the RV. The owner confronted the man, who quickly handed over the key set, which apparently was an extra set the owner had hidden under the RV’s sink. The owner then called police, who arrived on the scene to confront the “temporary” occupant. His rationale for occupying the RV? The suspect said “some people” on Friday at DSHS had given him the vehicle, but he didn’t know their names. After being read his Miranda rights, the suspect told police that a male and female came up to him and handed him a set of keys.

They told him he was now the proud owner of an RV. When asked who these seemingly generous people were, the suspect said they were “friends of a friend” but he didn’t know their names. The officer responded that his story didn’t ring true because “people don’t just give their vehicles away.” When asked if the couple had signed over the RV’s title to him, the suspect said they had but it was temporarily unavailable.

The officer found substantial damage to the RV’s passenger side. The suspect said he had hit a fence somewhere in Bremerton.

After confirming the owner had his title, police officers placed the suspect under arrest for possession of a stolen vehicle. Still holding firm on his story, the suspect argued that he didn’t steal the RV because it was given to him. Unimpressed, police transported him to jail for booking. Bail was set at $15,000.
