On 26th SW, a recipe for a Halloween tragedy: an uninvited guest returns to a party armed with a loaded SKS rifle and goes from room to room, searching for a fellow he had argued with earlier in the evening. But one guest waits for an opportunity and manages to "jump" the suspect and wrestle the gun away with the help of others. The group then wraps the man's arms and legs with duct tape and keeps him on the floor until officers arrive. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of harassment. Officers also recovered 19 rounds of ammunition from the scene.

Up on 35th, someone reported suspicious men hanging out near a business. The five disappeared when officers arrived. A suspicious vehicle was also searched, and officers turned up a number of screwdrivers, a loaded Glock handgun with an extra 30-round clip, a bag of narcotics, Ecstasy, and PCP.

Extra biscuits go to the K9 dog (and officer!) who tracked a burglary suspect from the victim's house to a hidden doorway at the Delridge Community Center. The 22-year-old Bellevue resident was booked into King County Jail for investigation of burglary and on an outstanding felony escape warrant. He had two companions who managed to escape undetected.

The 19-year-old pimp/boyfriend of a local woman has threatened to shoot up her family's home unless the woman gives him money that he is owed. The suspect is the father of the woman's two children and just recently began pimping her out, saying, "Christmas is coming up and you don't have a job."

Someone snatched a purse from the walker of an 89-year-old woman in the Alaska Junction.

A patient at a local care facility has been reprimanded for smoking pot on premises and for offering it to other patients.

A woman in her twenties went to Harborview for an examination after she broke down in sobs at the Southwest Precinct, recounting ongoing sexual abuse (starting in her teens and continuing to the present day) by a relative.

How to get back at your ex: have your friends make harassing phone calls, call your kids' school and tell them that the mom's house is full of lice, and tell your six-year-old that "mom poisons your food."_
