Strange woman threatens man after sexual encounter

A 33-year-old East Bremerton man called police on Friday to report that a woman he barely knew, but had sex with, threatened to kill him.

An officer called the man to take a report, but the man said he only knew the woman's first name. He had known her for a week, reports said, and the man estimated the woman was about 30 years old.

After they had sex on Thursday, she began to say "weird things" to the man. "She knows how (to) kill people and that she has been in prison before," the man told the officer. She also told the man that she was an unregistered sex offender.

The man told the officer that she had left a "shank" at his apartment. A shank is a slang term for a homemade weapon.

The officer went to the man's apartment on the 4000 block of Bledsoe Avenue in East Bremerton and collected the shank, which the officer recognized as a wooden tool for manicuring fingernails. "I told him it was only a fingernail tool," the officer wrote.

The officer advised the man to tell the woman to leave him alone or to call police if he again feels threatened.
