At the Junction, an officer pulled over a truck with a defective taillight. A computer check showed that the owner of the truck had a suspended license. The driver admitted that he was, indeed, the owner, so he was placed into custody and transported to the SW precinct, where he was cited for the defective taillight and for the license violation. The 100-year-old man was then released.

Seven teens, ranging in age from 17-19 were caught in a disturbance and drinking alcohol in the middle of the street near Pathfinder Elementary. One female, who was driving a car in the incident, will be investigated for obstruction after ignoring several commands to stop. The other suspects were interviewed and released.

An 11-year-old was confronted by two teens near 22nd and Thistle. They threw him to the ground, kicked him, went through his pockets, and stole his cell phone.

A 56-year-old Gatewood resident called 911 to report a theft. She stated she had hosted a _teenage drinking party_ for about 50 people (half of them strangers), and that she suspected one of them had stolen her laptop computer and I-Pod. She had last seen the items on the floor, near the suspect, who was one of several intoxicated guests allowed to spend the night.

As a resident pruned bushes in his South Park yard, a boy, approximately 2-years-old, approached him and said he was lost. Officers canvassed the neighborhood trying to find someone who could identify the boy but had no luck. The child was turned over to Child Protective Services.

A woman called 911 to report that a group of raccoons were terrorizing her neighborhood. She also wanted to report that neighbors had stolen her 3-legged cat about a year ago and kept it locked inside their house. An officer pointed out a 3-legged cat sitting on the neighbor_s porch. When the complainant called to the cat, it promptly ran away. The complainant is still waiting for the officer to do something about the raccoons.

While being chased, a man with an 8-inch fixed-blade knife ran into a South Park store on Wednesday afternoon. The man continued to brandish the knife in front of the store owners and customers, even after the men chasing him left the area. Officers arrived, and the man was booked into King County Jail for investigation of unlawful use of a weapon.

Unknown persons placed glass shards atop play equipment in the Roxhill Park playground.

Officers were dispatched to a local home after 911 operators received a call about a suicidal teen. The out-of-state caller said that the boy was depressed and told her that he had built a wooden stand and was going to decapitate himself with a chainsaw. The teen was surprised to see officers who, upon searching the home, found a wooden frame device holding a chainsaw secured into the _on_ position. The boy was transported to Harborview for a mental evaluation.
