As we head into the new year, the SW Precinct would like to focus on residential, as well as commercial burglary prevention. Within this newsletter, you will find information about what a burglary is and about the best ways to prevent a burglary. As always, please remember to always call 911 to report criminal and/or suspicious behavior. If you see something, say something!

Information from the Seattle Police Blotter

A 14-year-old boy sustained a head injury after he collided with a car while he was riding a sled down a hill in West Seattle yesterday.  The 20-year-old driver of the car was later arrested and booked into jail for DUI.

On Monday, at approximately 1:00 pm, a Ford Focus was travelling southbound on 35th Avenue SW approaching SW 110th Street when the 14-year-old on the sled entered the intersection.  The 20-year-old male driver of the Focus attempted to brake, but the vehicle continued to slide on the icy road and the Focus and sled collided, causing the injury.

The driver called 911 reporting the collision.  Officers arrived, along with the Fire Department.  The driver was evaluated at the scene and was later arrested for suspicion of DUI (marijuana).  The 14-year-old was transported to HMC where he is recovering.

Monday afternoon at 4:15 PM King County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a domestic violence disturbance near the 10400 BLK 16 AVE SW, in White Center.  The suspect, a 29 year old male, had vandalized a car and then ran into the Subway restaurant that was nearby.  When Deputies arrived on scene the victim directed them to the Subway. 

If you had planned on hitting a white golf ball around on green grass, that's not going to happen today in Seattle.

The outage went down Maplewild Drive around Three Tree Point and up along Ambaum to around 140th SW. The second outage area began at SW 130th and extended over to HWY 509 north to SW 100th. The expected restoration time was approximately 12 Noon.
