Information from Seattle Police Blotter

#2025-798809/Southwest Precinct/First Watch/W3:

At 3:49AM Tuesday, officers responded to a reported commercial burglary. The call stated that a naked male broke out the front window of a business, climbed inside, deployed a fire extinguisher inside the business, and then left with the extinguisher.

The caller noted that the subject was bloody from climbing through the broken glass. The suspect was gone when officers arrived.

A short time later and nearby, 911 received a call of a naked bloody male sitting on the stairs of an apartment complex. Officers arrived and observed the suspect who had a large rock in their hand.

Officers attempted to contact them from a distance, but the suspect would not engage. Several officers cross dispatched to assist.

Containment was set and a HNT Officer was present. After about 45 minutes of attempted engagement, the suspect pulled a fire alarm and approached officers with the rock still in hand. A type 2 UOF* occurred and suspect was taken into custody.

Suspect was transported to HMC for their injuries and is still under guard at this time.

Suspect arrested for burglary.

Unit 251 and Car 25 notified.

EDITORS NOTE: A Type 2 UOF is Use Of Force and it refers to force that causes or is reasonably expected to cause physical injury greater than temporary pain but less than severe bodily harm like great bodily harm, substantial bodily harm, loss of consciousness, or death. 

This level of force is typically employed when a subject is actively resisting or posing a threat that necessitates more than verbal commands or soft control techniques.
