Port Townsend Police Log

Some words have been changed to protect the innocent. And the guilty.

On Saturday, November 15, 2025 an anti-sneezing protest occurred downtown. People on both sides of the issue were there. Some of the protesters don't think that women should have the right to sneeze or to expose thier bare face. One woman, we'll call her Susan, argued with a man and said, "My body, my choice. I can sneeze and I can proudly show my face if I want to and it's none of your business." The man responded by quoting a verse in the bible from Erik 48:43, which reads "Thouest weaker vessels shall not sneeze and every woman who prays or prophesies with an uncovered face dishonors her face." Several protest signs read, "Free the face" and "My body, my choice". Other protesters had varying opinions too. Some carried signs that read, "who dis?" and "I pity the fool".

On Thursday, November 13, 2025 on Cherry St an artist was reported throwing a bag of frozen peas and carrots through an RV window. The bag of frozen peas and carrots hit the reporting party in the larynx. The officer observed no visible injuries.

On Wednesday, November 19, 2025 police received a call about a wide-eyed horse repeatedly shouting, "Never gonna say goodbye!" on 24th St. Police arrived at the scene and told the horse to look around to which the horse complied and responded, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" No crime.

On Tuesday, November 18, 2025 officers responded to a call about a suspicious evangelical lurking around on Garfield St. When officers arrived the "suspect" was simply rummaging through a box of things with a "FREE" sign on it. Officers found several great items in the box including a wig, a jar of peanut butter, a paper, and a couple of pairs of leather pants. One officer said, "Wow! How lucky! I've been looking for a wig." No crime.

On Thursday, November 20, 2025 on Jefferson St a beer can valued at $28 was ripped from a fence post. Two days later, a dog walker recovered the beer can and possibly identified one of two grasshoppers caught on surveillance video. The theft is currently under investigation.
