The crashes just kept coming, but thankfully doesn’t sound like there were any serious injuries.
I’d wager we’re going to have a story about the Dodson’s incident tomorrow. Under Washington state law, use of force by the suspect — however minor — bumps it up from shoplifting to second-degree robbery.
From Friday night to this morning, 18 people were booked into Whatcom County Jail on suspicion of DUI. A lot more than usual. #bellingham

The search — spelled out in tweets below — ended in the arrest of two men: Preston Eugene Waters and Gavin Jared Haggith. That second name might ring a bell.
I’m still piecing together a story about the woman found with her throat slashed near Nulle Road.

3:30 p.m. A man was naked in a white suburban outside 1511 N. State St. Dispatchers put it euphemistically: He was “conducting a lewd act” in the SUV.
3:45 p.m. A man was sprawled out in one lane of road near Samish Way and the Interstate 5 overpass. It appeared he was intoxicated. He left the scene. Ten minutes later: “It appears your suspect is in the 3800 block of Fielding, wearing a tan shirt. He just crawled out of a ditch.”

Via police scanner traffic:
10 a.m.-ish First responders were doing CPR on a man in his 60s (?) who passed out at the Department of Licensing on Cordata Parkway. Did not hear if he survived, but dispatchers said he had a steady pulse at some point later on. It was a busy day at the DOL, because, as KGMI radio reported in all caps on the station’s website, license plate renewals are going to be more expensive on Monday.
A lot of weird ones this afternoon in a 20-minute window.
4:45 p.m. Two women in their 30s were fighting at the intersection of East Holly Street and Railroad Avenue. Police had a hard time tracking them down.
4:46 p.m. A man — “35ish, medium build” and with a very specific clothing description I couldn’t scribble down in time — was “asking some odd questions of park-goers.” He appeared intoxicated.
4:47 p.m. The dad of a 10-year-old boy who was assaulted in a dispute over a scooter was “quite irate” as he lectured one of the kids who attacked his son. The confrontation was at a local skate park.
5:03 p.m. Motorcyclist struck by car at Meridian Street and Kellogg Road. He was up, but “limping around,” a minute later. He also had an injury to his right shoulder.
5:05 p.m. Ambulance headed to JJ’s on Holly for a woman who passed out.
