Early Sunday, a man was so eager to catch his bus that he ran across Delridge Way to the bus stop and slipped on the wet pavement directly in front of the bus. The shocked bus driver had to slam the brakes so hard that passengers fell out of their seats. The would-be passenger was unfazed and got up and started picking up his junk food that had scattered on the street when he fell. An officer witnessed the incident and made sure no passengers were hurt. The suspect told the officer he had been drinking, "so it wasn't my fault." The 25-year-old north end resident lied about his identity. He is under Department of Corrections supervision and was wanted on a no-bail felony escape warrant. He was booked into King County Jail.

A man called 911 after hearing a woman screaming for assistance from a van parked in South Park. Officers kept the van from leaving the area and determined that no one had been harmed. But two of the three people inside were wanted on outstanding no-bail felony escape warrants from the Department of Corrections and were booked into King County Jail. The third person was released.

After interviewing some people who were acting suspiciously in the 5200 block of California SW, officers ended up taking one of them into custody after discovering why he was so reluctant to give his real name: He was a registered sex offender, under Department of Corrections supervision, with an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The 31-year-old local resident was booked into King County Jail.

Beware: A man is posing as a law-enforcement official, driving a white, four-door American car with a bubble-shape, red-and-white flashing light on the roof. He pulled over a female exchange student in her 20s who was driving near Fauntleroy and Juneau. He asked for her ID and phone number and said that a ticket would be in the mail. He is a white male, 35-40 years old, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall with brown hair.

A school bus driver and citizen helped a 7-year-old who looked a little lost on Delridge Way last week. It turns out that his caregiver had mistakenly thought the child was in school for a full day, when it was really only a half-day, and did not pick him up. Officers were able to take the child home from the bus dropoff point.
