Sequim Woman Causes Scene at North Kitsap Casino

A belligerent Sequim woman climbed onto a casino table, kicked a police officer and screamed “whale killer” during a bizarre scene Saturday night at the Point Casino, according to Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reports.

The 56-year-old woman had reportedly consumed several alcoholic beverages when she became “loud, rude and aggressive” and drew the attention of casino security.

After being pulled off the gaming table, she “began running around the casino” while screaming “whale killer,” reports said. Two officers from the Port Gamble S’Kllalam Tribe’s Office of Public Safety arrived and arrested the woman. She kicked one of the officers several times in the lower leg, reports said.

She was booked into the Kitsap County jail for assault of an officer and disorderly conduct, with bail set at $20,000.

I had to look up what a Sequim was.   This screaming woman, whose story made me laugh for some reason, was from a city with a name that means "quiet waters" or "calm waters" but may have originally meant "Happy Hunting Grounds".
