Man breaks through airport security
A man sits in King County jail after he allegedly bolted through a security checkpoint at Sea-Tac Airport and onto an empty plane. The suspect did not have a plane ticket when he ran through the TSA passenger screening area. The man reportedly made it to Gate D10 and is accused of going through emergency exit doors and onto an airport ramp. He then climbed the stairs to the jetway, broke safety glass on a security door, made it on to an empty American Airlines plane and belted himself in a first class seat. Officers entered the plane and were able to take the suspect into custody after a short struggle. The man, in his late 20ʼs, was likely under the influence of drugs. A judge set bail at $100,000.
Police chase
Burien Washington: A King county Sheriff's deputy attempted to pull over a suspected stolen car with five people inside, but the driver sped off. The deputy gave chase and was soon joined by King County's Guardian One Helicopter. Near the 1500 block of SW Trenton, the five inside the car got out and tried to run but three were captured and the other two are still on the loose.
Family Fears
In December of 2012, Yichun Xu, pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide and other charges related to a car accident that killed a 25 year old woman. The 19 year old Chinese national and student, allegedly drove his car at high speeds through residential neighborhoods of Des Moines running a stop sign and crashing into Brenda Gomez's car. Gomez died from complications of a brain injury in November 2012. The family fears that the justice system is not working fast enough and Xu may flee to China before his trial. Xu pleaded not guilty last December and was held in King County jail on $2 million bail. The bail was set high due to fears that he would flee to China if released but Xu's family paid the bail.
