The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is on the hunt for a “bad apple culprit.”

A northwest Hazel Dell resident got home Wednesday and found a bizarre – but familar – scene: Apples on their roof and a strange note on their door, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

Local law enforcement have received similar complaints from other Clark County residents over the years, but this time, the homeowner had footage showing a white, clean-shaven male wearing a black beanie hat apparently pinning the note to their door.

“Roofs are not created equally so the sound effects vary,” the latest note read. “It can be nothing, to a muted thump, to louder thumps to almost a crashing sound. I can remember one house, the owner must have had mason jars stacked up under the eaves; the apples came down on them like bowling balls.”

In years past, the culprit has said in the note that they’re targeting supporters of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, who is running for a fifth term this year, and President Barack Obama. The letters have been historically signed “Titania.” In previous years, similar letters circulated about Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon.

If you know who the person is, call Deputy Steve Fox at 360-397-2211, ext. 5483, or email steve.fox@clark.wa.gov.
