County asks for help regarding stolen road signsposted 11/20/2007
"This is costing the citizens a significant amount of money," said Public Works Director Jon Shannon. He says the cost of replacing an individual sign is more than $100. Sheriff Bill Cumming does not believe the thieves are doing it for gain. "Recyclers will report anyone attempting to turn in a road sign," he said. He added that the County has alerted metal dealers on the mainland about the thefts here. Sheriff Cumming requests that anyone who has information about the thefts or sees suspicious activity around road signs notify the Sheriff’s office at phone: 378-4151. If a citizen sees a crime in progress, they should call 9-1-1. Stolen Signs - November 14-21

Jose Guerrero and his neighbor, Isidro Garcia, had just gotten off work Sunday (Nov. 11) evening when a vehicle ran off Roche Harbor Road onto the back of Garcia's trailer. Guerrero, who had entered the trailer just moments before, was thrown to the floor, hitting his head on the sharp edge of the table. "It was so bad," he said. He grabbed his cellphone and called 911. Garcia was in another room right next to the back of the trailer and sustained neck and back injuries according to Guerrero. Garcia was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The two men were taken in one ambulance to Inter Island Medical Center. Guerrero was x-rayed and treated for injuries to his head. A deep purple bruise near his temple was visible Monday. The driver was taken in another ambulance to the medical center, treated and released. The other trailer the sedan hit was unoccupied at the time. A pickup truck was also damaged. Guerrero said this is the second time in the past 12 months a car has come off the road in the same spot. The previous time the car was stopped by the madrona tree.
November 2 Two San Juan Island women were walking down a road when a pit bull mix dog started growling at them. They were afraid to move because they feared the dog would attack. After five minutes of yelling for the owner, the owner came out of the house and called the dog off. Someone used a cinder block and smashed the windshield, hood and damaged the windshield wipers of a 1995 BMW parked on A Street in Friday Harbor. Damage was estimated at $2500.

When he went to remove the items, he told deputies several valuable items were missing. A 37-year-old Friday Harbor man was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear for a second-degree theft charge. | |
