Down at Alki Playfield on Tuesday, a soccer coach noticed a man walking by the scene, watching the girls on the field. The coach greeted the fellow, whose response was “F(&* you.” The coach then said “Have a nice day,” to which the fellow responded with another “F(&* you.” When the coach also noticed that the man was holding a large syringe with a two-inch needle he called 911. An officer found the man about ten blocks away. He was argumentative, stated he was a “protected witness,” and refused to provide any identification. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of unlawful use of a weapon.

On Tuesday, officers were dispatched to the 9100 block of 45th to question a man who had been camped outside an apartment complex for six hours. The 33-year-old University-area resident said he was waiting for a woman and asked officers to contact her (though he had no phone number). After a records check showed that he was wanted on a Department of Corrections no-bail escape warrant, the man was booked into King County Jail.

When her boyfriend (who takes meds for bi-polar disorder) came home intoxicated, he began throwing thing around the house, poured food and drinks on the ground, broke a light, and ripped a bedroom door off of its hinges. In fact, as officers arrived at the scene, they saw a couple of plates fly out the front door. The suspect was placed in handcuffs but refused medical attention at Harborview. So the officers transported him to King County Jail, where he was booked for investigation of non-aggravated domestic violence assault and property damage.

On 17th Southwest, a 10-year-old reports that a neighbor girl showed her a knife she had found in a garbage can. Suddenly, the older girl grabbed the victim from behind and put the knife to her throat. The victim was able to run away and said that though she was scared of the girl she didn't think she would actually cause harm. Officers visited the home of the suspect, but no one answered the door.

A citizen called 911 to report a man assaulting a woman in front of a residence in the 1800 block of Southwest Orchard. Officers separated the two, who had apparently had a long-term romantic relationship. The woman explained that she and her boyfriend had been “living together” in a car parked in front of his mother's place. Today she had tried to get away, but he physically prevented her from leaving. He ended up being booked into King County Jail for investigation of domestic violence harassment and on an outstanding warrant for theft. He also faces a weapons charge, after officers found him carrying a concealed four-inch folding knife.

On Thursday afternoon, a woman flagged down an officer near Roxbury and 16th and reported that a man was lying on the sidewalk. The victim, who has a Queen Anne address, said that he wasn't injured....he was just “trying to get laid.”
