Early Monday, 911 received reports of shots fired in the 4100 block of 47th Avenue Southwest. One person reported seeing two males in front of the home with flashlights, possibly trying to make entry. Officers arrived to find an 18 year old and his 17-year-old female friend. He claimed that two men had tried to kick in the front door (but failed) and that he had heard a gunshot outside. But officers quickly determined that the shot had come from inside the home. Not only that, but the bullet had pierced the wall of the neighbor's house and was found lying on the floor beneath the neighbor's bed. The young man changed his story when the police said they knew the shot had come from inside, saying that, oh, perhaps the intruders had gotten inside and fired a shot. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of discharging a weapon and for possession and concealment of the same.

On Wednesday morning at 11, an intoxicated man first refused to leave the lobby of a Junction business and then passed out there. Officers stopped by to pick him up and discovered that he was wanted on a $15,000 King County felony warrant. The 31-year-old was booked into King County Jail.

Someone stole baskets full of home-delivered groceries that had been left on the porch of a home in the 4800 block of 38th Southwest on Thursday.

A white male in his twenties was seen possibly casing homes near 35th and Myrtle on Thursday afternoon. Shortly afterward he climbed into a blue Chevy Astrovan that left the area in a hurry. A citizen reports that the van had been in front of his home, and that after it left he discovered that his pressure washer was missing from his open garage.

Unknown persons siphoned gas from three trucks parked at a local truck-rental yard.

The officer first noticed that the BMW was badly parked (far from the curb) down at Alki. And, um, it was parked in the Police Only zone. The officer watched the driver leave the area and followed him as he drove through the stop sign at Lander and Admiral and hit speeds of 80 MPH going eastbound on Admiral Way. The suspect vehicle squealed into the bank parking lot at 44th and Admiral, (managing to avoid hitting pedestrians), and the driver then stopped in an alley, threw his keys aside and tried to hide behind a nearby car. The 36-year-old Renton resident had a conditional suspended license that allowed him to drive only at certain times. (This was not one of those times.) Not only that, but the DUI interlock device (which prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver is intoxicated—and which was supposed to be in the suspect's car through 2011) was missing. He had alcohol on his breath but did not meet the standard for a DUI offense. So he was booked into King County Jail for investigation of driving with a suspended license and for negligent driving in the first degree.
