After meeting a man in a White Center bar, a woman found out that

he had nowhere to stay and no way to get anywhere, so she invited

him to spend the night on her couch. After he made a pass at her

and made a statement that frightened her, she called 911. A

background check showed that her guest was under the supervision of

the Department of Corrections and was not supposed to be drinking.

(Both he and the woman were obviously intoxicated.) The man was

booked into King County Jail for violating the terms of his DOC

agreement.

A man who admits to being "manic" and on medication for bi-polar

profanity. he was booked into King County Jail for investigation of

harassment, assault, and 3rd-degree criminal trespass.

A 39-year-old man called 911 to say that he had "broken things" and

thrown them into the street. Officers arriving at the California

Ave. SW address found shattered flower pots and other hazards in

the middle of the road. The man was in his house screaming at the

radio and talking incoherently. He asked the officers for help,

stating that he was bi-polar and had not been taking his

medications. He was taken to Harborview for an involuntary mental

health evaluation.

Thanks to an alert citizen who called 911, officers were able to

catch two women in the act of mailbox theft in the 9600 block of

50th SW. A detective found 50 to 100 pieces of mail in the women's

vehicle, from at least 15 different victims. He also found

handbags, checks, jewelry, and narcotics. The two women were booked

into King County Jail for invetigation of theft.

In another case of a caring person making a difference, officers

received a call to check on the welfare of a woman in the Genesee

neighborhood. She was reportedly shouting and throwing things

around. The caller also noted that the woman had a hunting rifle at

the home. When officers arrived, they heard the woman yelling (as

they later discovered) at someone who was not there. The heat was

shut off, broken glass littered the floors, and non-edible food was

on the stovetop. The woman said that people had been trying to come

and go from the house. The officers found hundred of letters making

reference to the pain in her body. The voluntarily gave up her

weapon, which was under the bed, and was transported to Harborview.

As she walked on 34th SW one evening, a woman heard footsteps

running behind her. A man covered her mouth with his hand, told her

phone, and $25.

Late one evening while walking his dog in the 2600 block of 47th

peering into the bedroom window. When he confronted the man, the

stranger left southbound on foot.

Near South Park, a business owner became concerned when she saw one of the regular homeless people white-faced and unresponsive in an

outdoor alcove where he often slept. Medics confirmed that the man,

who had lived on the streets in the area for the last 27 years, was

dead. There were no signs of violence. The man's wallet contained

$42. The medical examiner took responsibility for the body of the

man, who remains nameless at this time.

Unknown persons ripped a real-estate lock box from the front of an

Alki building and stole the keys inside.

An Alki area resident reports that for the third time since

December someone threw a large rock through his car windshield.

On a recent afternoon, someone broke into a car parked on SW

Edmunds near Camp Long and stole a number of credit cards and a

checkbook.

Though a local woman admits that her parking skills need

improvement, she was surprised when she went to get in her car last

Saturday morning. Someone had covered her vehicle with cigarette

butts and garbage.They had also "egged" the car and left a note

behind, reading, "You are eggstremely rude in your parking."
