A woman regretted inviting a stranger to stay at her house after he picked up a kitchen knife and attacked a box of Fruit Loops, declaring he was a "cereal killer." She ran to the SW Precinct to report in the incident. An officer accompanied her back home and stood by while the man gathered his things and left the apartment.

A 911 caller reported hearing gunshots and then finding a dead crow. The officer?s report states, "After a thorough examination of the recently departed, I was unable to determine the cause of death--possibly due to my limited experience in Ornithology."

While driving down Delridge early Saturday, officers saw a woman (she turned out to be 17 years old) lying in the middle of the road. A man was walking away from her. They ordered the man to return and to show his hands. (He refused?in English--and was later found to be carrying a knife in his waistband. He also later claimed to not understand English.) The victim said she and the suspect--her 21-year-old boyfriend--had been drinking heavily and smoking marijuana. She added that yesterday he had thrown her down a flight of stairs and that today he had shoved her out of bed. The officer?s report states that she was "completely covered with bruises on her legs and arms." But the teen refused to provide a statement or let pictures be taken because she didn?t want her boyfriend to be deported.

A man in his early thirties was arrested after citizens reported squatters trespassing in an abandoned home on SW Holden. He was wanted on two felony drug warrants?one for $15,000 and another for $10,000. Another man at the scene was suspected in theft of two cars found on the premises but was identified and released. The home is unlivable and filled with garbage and narcotics paraphernalia.
