Dutch Harbor report

From the local police blotter:

Ambulance request, Oct. 31 — EMS responded to the airport to transport a patient from the Coast Guard helicopter to the clinic.

Drug law violation, Nov. 1 — Doorman reported a line of cocaine was found in the men's room. Investigation did not reveal the owner, and surprisingly no one claimed they had lost the expensive powder. The cocaine was seized for destruction.

Roads, Nov. 2 — Public Safety notified the roads chief of the first icy roads of the year.

Assistance rendered, Nov. 3 — Officer settled a disagreement between a captain and resigning employee. The employee was to be given money for travel expenses to return home. The captain needed him to sign a form before receiving the money. The employee would not sign the form before receiving the money and the captain would not hand over the money until the form was signed. The officer offered to act as broker and hold the money while the form was signed, which the squabbling pair accepted as more reasonable than the current zero-sum game they were pursuing.

Drug law violation, Nov. 5 — A vessel captain reported one of the crewmembers was smoking OxyContin and marijuana. An officer contacted another crewmember who stated the accused had taken a drug test which came out clean prior to coming to Unalaska. The officer then contacted the suspect, who asserted he was clean and allowed a search of his person and stateroom which revealed nothing of interest.

Ambulance request, Nov. 5 — EMS responded to a crapulent and injured man observed lying in the snow with no jacket.
