In North Admiral, a convicted sexual offender took an opportunity to wave hello to some women who parked their car in front of his house. He pulled up the window blinds but, shall we say, did not pull up his pants. Nor did he wave with his hands. The prosecutor's office will receive a report that documents the incident.

A man spent two hours in a bathroom at a local bowling alley and was then accused of peeping as a customer relieved himself. The customer tried to detain the man while police were called, but in the struggle they fell to the ground. The suspect fled the scene but later flagged down an officer for assistance. He claimed that his injury came from being hit after being called a "pervert." Medics decided the man's nose was broken, and he was transported to Harborview for treatment.

In the Junction, a man entered a maternity store, claiming that he needed a "maternity-sized" shirt to wear to a costume party. He tried on an ensemble in the dressing room and then called the clerk over for an opinion. And she certainly obliged, considering that he was exposing his privates to her surprised gaze. She convinced him to put on his pants and leave the premises.

A Morgan Junction-area teen was booked into the Youth Service Center after instigating another in a series of assaults on his family. In recent weeks he has blackened his brother's eye, thrown a knife at his father and an iron at his mother. Mom finally called 911. (Dad is allegedly not fond of police and would prefer they not be involved.) Officers witnessed the youth addressing his mom using profane language. Later, in a statement to officers, he admitted to having an anger problem.

In the Westwood area, a woman refused to open the door to her son. (She suspected he had assaulted his girlfriend earlier in the day.) Yelling profanities, he kicked the door twice, breaking the lock and the door jamb. He then shoved mom against a wall, but left when he saw her calling 911.

An officer stopped to talk to four people loitering after hours in an Alki Park. An identification check showed that one had a no-bail felony escape warrant, two Seattle Municipal Court warrants, a $2,000 warrant for possession of a controlled substance, and another for $5,000 for driving with a suspended license. The 22-year-old was booked into King County Jail.

About a year ago, a local woman broke up with a man after a series of domestic violence incidents. She received a no-contact order, he went to jail, and she hadn't heard from him since. This week he called from an out-of-state pay phone to say that he was on his way to her house. The victim didn't even know he was out of jail. She says he is mentally unstable and known to have firearms. Officers encouraged her to get another protection order.

On 16th SW, a woman frantically flagged down a man in a passing car, climbed in, and offered to perform a sexual act. Too bad that the driver was a police officer in an unmarked car. The 55-year-old was booked into King County Jail for investigation of prostitution.
