A woman brought a lawyer (hired just that day) to a local retirement facility and demanded the release of her 88-year-old aunt. Staff explained that until she brought in the appropriate paperwork declaring her legal guardian as well as other court orders, that they could not release the resident. (The aunt requires constant medical supervision and intervention by staff and has been declared medically incapable of making decisions regarding her welfare.) In addition to the legalities of the situation, the niece likely hasn't helped her case with recent incidents where she has checked auntie out for a four-hour visit and returned her—eight hours later—drunk.

In the Junction area, a resident woke up early Sunday and found a stranger asleep on his patio. The visitor—a 34-year-old Westwood resident—told officers he had been high on meth and claimed to know the residents of the home. Wanted on a warrant, he was booked into King County Jail.

Officers were dispatched to an Admiral care center where a man was refusing to leave. As he spoke with officers, the man jumped from topic to topic and was hard to understand. He claimed to be applying for a job, but also admitted that he was homeless and looking for something to eat. During the conversation he acknowledged that he was schizophrenic and not taking his meds. Officers had him transported to Harborview for a mental exam.

After being caught stealing steaks and ham from a Junction supermarket, the aggressive and hostile suspect asked to use the bathroom. But store managers didn't feel comfortable letting the man leave the room where he was being questioned. In return, the suspect urinated all over the floor of the office. He was eventually booked into King County Jail for the theft and for an outstanding Mountlake Terrace warrant for unlawful possession of liquor.
