A young girl visited several neighborhoods, going door-to-door selling

certificates for a benefit carwash. When the purchasers tried to redeem

the coupons, they were told that no carwash had been scheduled and that

several other people had been scammed in the same way. The salesperson was a white female, around 10 years of age, with brown wavy hair. She wore a

multicolored windbreaker.

A woman met a man at a local bar and invited him to her home for a few

minutes so that she could use the restroom. The next day, her credit card

company called regarding several charges. The woman suspects that the

visitor took the card while she was out of the room. Officers recognized

the man's name, as he had recently been involved in a violent offense with

police. He also has a criminal history including manslaughter,

second-degree assault, and firearms and drug violations.

Officers were called to the 1900 block of Harbor Avenue after scuba divers

found a shotgun lying on the floor of Elliott Bay. The 12-gauge shotgun

was unloaded and had not been there the previous day when the divers were

present. The gun was retained for the evidence department.

Gunshots awoke several citizens just after midnight Sunday morning in a

Highland Park neighborhood. Someone had driven by a home where six

children were sleeping and fired at least nine shots toward the home and a

car parked in its driveway. Officers recovered 11 shell casings. Several

of the bullets pierced the home and were found inside interior walls. No

one in the home was hurt.

Members of the Southwest precinct anti-crime team served a search warrant

on an apartment in the 1600 block of SW Henderson. Three women, aged 24,

46, and 42, were arrested along with two men, aged 29 and 35. Officers

seized 65 grams of cocaine, a loaded .40 caliber pistol, and over $1,400.

Two of the four suspects are convicted felons.

On 24th SW, four people were booked into King County Jail after officers

arrived on scene and found a man with serious stab wounds as well as

others who were engaged in suspected drug activities. A 20 year old male

was booked for investigation of assault; a 20 year old woman had an

outstanding felony forgery warrant; a 32 year old man was wanted by the

Department of Corrections, and a 31 year old man was wanted on a drug

warrant.

Unknown persons broke a 2 by 4-foot double pane window in the Alki

Bathhouse. Replacement cost is estimated at $200.

While investigating a burglary in the 5400 block of Beach Drive, an

officer found a plastic bag in some nearby bushes. It contained pills and

what looked like heroin.

A local woman was transported to Harborview after she repeatedly visited a

Junction-area fire station and exhibited odd and suicidal behavior. She

would leave and return every half hour, without telling the firefighters

her name or contact information. An officer sent to the scene recognized

the woman, having dealt with her in previous situations, and decided she

needed a mental evaluation.

Three cars parked in the 2600 block of SW Adams suffered gunshots early

Saturday.
