Environmental
Two callers reported 20-40 eagles feasting on
discarded fish fillets conveniently left in the back of a pickup truck,
and the sheer number of eagles made it difficult for other drivers to
safely access vehicles parked nearby. An officer scared the eagles away
and advised the owner of the pickup to properly dispose of the fish.
Drunk Disturbance
A home drunk reported that a visiting drunk had
struck him in the face. When police arrived at the home drunk's
residence, he said he had no desire to pursue charges against his
assailant. The officer advised the visiting drunk to leave. She did.
Theft
An officer convinced a man who had reported his
backpack was stolen from a foyer while he was outside smoking, that he
really ought to check the last place he had been before he stepped
outside to smoke. Though the victim was certain his backpack could not
possibly be there, he was pleasantly surprised to find that in fact it
was, with all items intact.
DUI
Caller reported a possibly intoxicated driver.
Officers contacted the suspect and found that he was not intoxicated but
rather a new driver using an iPod and cell phone while attempting to
safely control several thousand pounds of metal and rubber. The officer
issued the young man a warning.
Assistance Rendered
Officers spoke with an estranged wife who was
incensed that her husband was allowing another woman to live in a house
and drive a vehicle legally controlled by both the husband and wife. The
wife insinuated there might be negative repercussions if the other
woman were still present when the wife returns. The officer advised the
wife against this course of action.
Assault
Boarding house resident reported a man had just
been beaten with a stick. Responding officers found that the victim had
been struck across the side and back of his head with a 2x4 after he and
a companion were accused by a vehicle owner of somehow damaging said
vehicle. Several witnesses provided information which lead to the arrest
of [a man], 41 yoa, of Unalaska, on one count of Assault II.
Animal
Caller reported a possibly feral feline with no
collar was seen near a dumpster. An officer patrolled the area without
finding the felonious feline.

The eagles must have thought they found a "Michelin" star restaurant. This was a very good read.
Cannot imagine things like this happening in the lower 48:)
This reminds of me of the police blotter in the small town I grew up in. Thanks for sharing!
Fiona, Dutch Harbor is the home of crab fishing fleet as seen on the Discovery Channel. It's a ... boisterous place.
TB, you're welcome. I was with a small-town P.D. 35 years ago, and this blotter reminds me of that place, too. :)
Felonious feline? Animals are committing crimes, now? :-)
Nice this made it into the police blotter. Slow night for the constabulary?
gfa
Guffaw, I imagine it's Sgt. Shockley's way of keeping routine from being boring. And it works. :)
Wonder if someone snapped a picture of all those eagles?
Yep, they did.
The feline came to my house. They all do...
Everybody's got to be some place, ma'am. :)
