A local 26-year-old was so impaired by alcohol that he fell asleep in the drive-thru of an Admiral restaurant. Witnesses called 911, and officers arrived in time to see the car drive erratically and without signaling as it left the business. The driver pulled over and turned off the ignition, providing unexpected entertainment for the officer who watched him repeatedly try to lower the power window for a chat. (The suspect finally gave up and justopened the door.) The driver was given a field sobriety test and a courtesy ride home.
Early Saturday, an officer drove down a Junction alley and saw a car blocking the alley, with a man leaning inside, swearing at his girlfriend. When the officer lit them up with a spotlight, the driver accelerated, swerved around the patrol car and sped off through a residential area. The potty-mouthed fellow was left behind and said he had been drinking in a bar. Too bad for him that he?s under active Department of Corrections supervision and supposed to avoid alcohol. He was arrested and booked into King County Jail. And that girlfriend who drove off in such a hurry? Turns out that she's wanted on a felony warrant for dangerous drugs. She remains at large.
The driver of a tour bus stopped his vehicle and called 911when he saw a man shouting at and repeatedly shoving a woman in the chest on Alki Ave. The womantold officers she was unhurt and just wanted to "walk away." The suspect admitted he had touched her and was arrested and transported to the SW Precinct. He was later released.
In South Park, two men working on a house were confronted by a homeowner who declared they shouldn't park their cars by his house. One of the men called him an 'idiot' and the homeowner yelled, "This isn't Capitol Hill" and "I'm going to get you, f!*&@t"(derogatory term referring to a homosexual) before chasing the men around the cars. Another neighbor came out, saw what was happening and told the older man to stop.
