Following a recent breakup, a man paid a midnight visit to his ex-girlfriend's home on 35th SW. Though he appeared to be high on PCP, she let him inside. After brushing his teeth, he went into the bedroom and became “fixated” on the ceiling tile, repeatedly poking and prodding it into the attic space until debris came tumbling down. Scared by his behavior, his ex called 911. The suspect was combative with both officers and Harborview staff, who found he was carrying three vials of unidentified liquid and a bag of rock cocaine. Following discharge from the hospital, he'll be booked into King County Jail for investigation of domestic violence property destruction and drug charges.

The madness is known to strike in the daytime as well. On Sunday, patrons at an Admiral eatery called 911 after a man ran inside, stripping off his shirt and yelling that someone was following him. An officer who arrived on scene stated that the suspect's heart was racing so fast that he could see it “pounding through his shirt.” The suspect then began yelling that someone had bit him. While waiting for a medical unit, officers ran his name through the computer and discovered that the suspect had a history of confrontation and had, himself, bit an officer in 2008. With an officer along for the ride, he was transported (in handcuffs) by ambulance to Harborview for a mental exam.

Officers stopped to chat with a man and a woman sitting in a vehicle at Hamilton Viewpoint a little after midnight (after the park had closed). The male tried to hide his identity, likely because he was wanted on two felony drug warrants. Officers booked him into King County Jail. And early on a different morning, officers found four people sitting in a car in the same park. One of them was wanted in Lynnwood for failure to appear on a DUI charge. He was booked into King County Jail as well.

A Gatewood man noticed a green “laser” light on his kitchen wall, looked out the window and saw a neighbor (a stranger) pointing a rifle in his direction. Officers visited the neighbor, who was apologetic and cooperative. He stated that the rifle was unloaded and that he had been outside adjusting its “bore sight.” The parties agreed that there had been no confrontation or issues between them, and the victim was satisfied with the apology.
