Here I got one more for ya... Seeing as your all powerful, perhaps you could update Moses's Tablet with the following.. "Thou Shalt not approach thy neighbor under false pretenses"
Last night (4/26/2024) at approximately 2318 hours, officers responded to the report of an assault at the 1500 block of Alabama. There was a large gathering of people occurring in the area of the assault. Officers located one male who was clearly in need of immediate medical assistance, and it was reported that another male quickly fled following an altercation. Officers carry medical kits on their protective vests and were able to render aid. The victim was transported to the local hospital to receive further treatment.
In addition to patrol officers, BPD deployed its unmanned aircraft systems and Crime Scene Investigation unit. WCSO’s K9 team also responded. Investigation thus far revealed that a male, unknown to the people at the gathering, attempted to join and was unwelcome. The unknown male was asked to leave. As the unknown male was getting escorted away by the victim, the unknown male attacked and then quickly fled.
Investigation is ongoing. The name of the victim is being withheld until next of kin is apprised of the situation. No further information is currently available for release.
If anyone present at the time of the assault or witnessed the assault, has not already provided a statement to BPD, please contact What-Comm at 360-676-6911. Please reference case number 24B23477.
Tips can also be submitted online at cob.org/tips.
Correction: this post was updated to reflect that the K9 asset assisting during the incident response belonged to Whatcom County Sheriff's Office. Thank you, Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office! We appreciate your partnership and support! ... See MoreSee Less

Prayers that the victim is okay
Here, I got a tip for ya.. Do not carry money for workers of Christ will be given what they need.. How 'bout ya.. Place some touch screens on an array of laundry machines.. and set up a Laundry mat for homeless scholars.. you know.. the kind with a Calculus Pop Quiz on the touch screen.. for access to the machine.. rather than... you know.. an addiction trigger called money..

During yesterday's (4/26/2024) early morning hours, Bellingham Police Officers were made aware of an active theft at a local utility company that uses a security monitoring company. The company could see a man wearing a high-visibility reflective vest stealing wire spools from inside the fenced area. He was then seen rolling a spool down Carolina St. The first officer attempted to contact the suspect as he walked back toward the point of entry for the burglary. The suspect ran when the officer called out. The officer watched the suspect cross I5 and radioed other officers information on where they could intercept him. Another BPD officer found the suspect popping out of a bush on Lincoln St. near the I5 a short time later. The suspect again took off running when law enforcement told him to stop, but our officer caught up with the suspect on the 2300 block of Lincoln when he tripped over a retaining wall. The suspect was arrested on probable cause for Burglary in the second degree x 2, Malicious Mischief, Theft in the second degree, and resisting arrest. The stolen spool of wire the man took for a walk down Carolina St was recovered on Moore St. where it was stashed near a tree. Follow-up investigation resulted in other stolen items being recovered, as well as a small amount of suspected narcotics, resulting in additional probable cause to arrest the suspect on other charges. ...
