An 18-year-old faces charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and her underage brother and his three buddies face charges of minor in possession, after officers caught them exiting Schmitz Park with 29 cans of beer and four bottles of hard liquor on Friday afternoon. The booze ($90 worth according to a receipt) was discarded but the containers retained for evidence. All of the suspects were released to parents or relatives. And the same day, a little further down the road, officers drove past a home in the 3000 block of 61st Southwest, noticed a group of juveniles sitting around a case of beer. Some ran away, but six were identified and released. Officers stood by as the 17-year-old host poured all of the beer on the ground and disposed of the cans.

While driving in the 3000 block of Southwest Holden late Tuesday, an officer spotted a man walking down the sidewalk, drinking an alcoholic beverage and then tossing the can in the bushes. When the officer contacted the man, he was found to not only have bloodshot, watery eyes, but a $5,000 outstanding warrant for DUI as well. The 35-year-old West Seattle resident was booked into King County Jail.

A citizen called 911 to report a man sleeping on the front porch of an abandoned home in the 5200 block of California Avenue Southwest. He turned out to have a felony no-bail warrant for escape. He was booked into King County Jail.

A domestic violence victim was startled when her estranged husband showed up on the porch of the home where she was staying and refused to leave. She didn't know how he found out her location. The husband told officers that he simply took note of the phone number she called from and used the Internet to research the address associated with it. The Victim Support Team is working with the woman to find a new safe house.

A 19-year-old with loud music playing was pulled over for a noise violation down at Alki, and when officers asked him to pull his car over to allow traffic to pass, he peeled out, heading down 61st at a high rate of speed. Additional patrol units were called to the area and after a chase arrested the suspect in the 4400 block of 26th Southwest. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of driving with a suspended license and failure to obey a peace officer. He was also cited for the noise disturbance

On Friday night, near 58th and Stevens, a group of several young people positively identified a young man who had declared he was going to “steal the next Iphone I see.” He indeed then punched one of the group in the face before running off with the device. As officers arrived at the scene, however, they had seen the suspect “casually” going to a bus stop and placing something on the ground. That something turned out to be the victim's phone. The 16-year-old suspect, a resident of North Admiral, was booked into the Youth Service Center for investigation of robbery with force.
