POULSBO — Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office deputies received a tip that an assault suspect was staying at a Poulsbo home, but did not find him there. Instead, they found a man in possession of methamphetamine.

The suspect is Scott A. Loun, 39, is currently being sought by authorities for his alleged involvement in a burglary and an assault with a gun in March. Loun has not been charged with any crime in relation to the alleged burglary or assault.

Deputies did, however, arrest another man. When approaching the residence, a man was seen nearby a trailer on the property. Despite the deputies announcing themselves, the man ran from them. He was apprehended, however, and searched. Deputies allegedly discovered a finger tip portion of a latex glove which held a small portion of methamphetamine.

The man, Andrew James Allen, 42, of Poulsbo, was arrested for possession of meth. Allen also had a warrant for his arrest for driving under the influence. He has been booked into the Kitsap County Jail on $5,000 bail.
