Two different boys stole energy drinks from a grocery store in the 900 block of 11th Street within hours of each other on Saturday, June 27.

A 15-year-old Anacortes boy was booked into juvenile detention after allegedly shoplifting two energy drinks valued at $5 around 4:30 p.m. He was on probation for other offenses and his probation officer requested he be booked for violating his probation. He was also charged with shoplifting

Three hours later, a 14-year-old Anacortes boy was arrested and released to his mother’s custody after allegedly shoplifting an energy drink. A marijuana pipe was also found in his pocket.

Among the other 214 cases handled by Anacortes police during the previous week:

Friday, June 26

• A 28-year-old Anacortes man was booked into the Skagit County jail for violating a no-contact order after he attempted to gain entry into a home the court prohibited him from visiting. The homeowner called police after seeing the man try to enter. The suspect was found lying in some grass a short distance away. It appeared he had been drinking. The man reportedly also possessed a small amount of marijuana and a CO2 pistol.

• An Anacortes woman reported one week ago several Xbox games and a controller were taken out of her unlocked car. She believed it happened when the vehicle was parked in the 2100 block of Commercial. Estimated loss is $65.

Saturday, June 27

• A 10-year-old Anacortes girl called 911 and reported her 6-year-old friend was being yelled at and beaten by her mother, and not allowed to come outside and play. Officers contacted the mother and children at their home and they were all fine.

• A 43-year-old Anacortes man was arrested after allegedly assaulting his 20-year-old stepson. The stepson claimed his stepfather grabbed him by throat during an argument. The man was also wanted in Snohomish County on a charge of unlawful imprisonment.

Sunday, June 28

• A 31-year-old man reported he was playing basketball in Storvik Park around 9:30 p.m. and someone took a briefcase he left nearby. He claimed the briefcase contained medical papers and prescription medication.

Monday, June 29

• A 19-year-old man who told officers he just moved to Anacortes was arrested on a charge of DUI after an officer saw him driving a 1998 Lincoln Town car erratically in the 1400 block of D Ave. The vehicle crossed the fog and center line several times before the officer stopped the vehicle. The driver failed physical sobriety tests and was taken to the station for a Breathalyzer test. He was cited and released to a sober adult.

• A boy’s BMX-style bike was taken from in front of a residence in the 3400 block of H Avenue overnight. The bike is Pacific brand Pot Shot model valued at $120.

• A 1984 Chevrolet Blazer rolled from a parking lot in the 1300 block of Commercial Avenue across 14th Street and struck a 2000 Honda Odyssey van parked on the street. Both vehicles were unoccupied and both sustained damage. The owner of the Chevy was cited for failing to secure the parking break.

• A 2001 Ford F150 truck backed into a 2001 Volvo in a parking lot in the 900 block of 11th Street. The owner of the truck did not have liability insurance and was cited.
