BREMERTON — A police officer went to a Bremerton home to investigate a report the resident was stealing electricity from a neighbor.
But when the woman opened the door Tuesday, the officer found a kerosene generator running inside. He immediately made the woman step outside and told her the carbon monoxide fumes from running the generator indoors could be deadly.
She agreed and said her cat had just died.
The officer told her that her home had to be completely aired out before she could return inside, but the officer wrote in the police report she didn't seem worried about it.
