Disorderly female drops pants and makes threats
Two employees of the Highline School District Department of Transportation arrived at a local elementary school to pick up two students. They were in a marked school district sedan, one was driving and the other was acting as a monitor for the students. A pickup truck was parked in a no parking bus zone at the school so the monitor approached the vehicle and asked them to park in a spot across the street next time.
The female passenger in the truck stated they were picking up their child and began shouting obscenities at the monitor. The monitor walked back to the sedan and got in while the truck parked in another spot and the female passenger got out and approached the sedan. She continued to yell obscenities and made threats of violence to the monitor. The female eventually walked back to the truck and pulled down her pants exposing her buttocks and made more threats. The truck left before officers arrived.
Shots fired at Southcenter Mall
The trouble started at about 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 26 when mall security noticed a group of teenagers milling around in the parking lot. Thinking a fight might break out, the security guards asked the teens to leave. According to Tukwila police, several members of the group said they were gang members and tried to intimidate the security guards. The guards backed off and called Tukwila police officers who were working off duty at the mall. The group scattered as police arrived, and at least one of the kids fired a gun.
However, police do not believe the shots were directed at them. Police officers in multiple surrounding areas arrived at the scene to help detain the kids. Six juveniles were detained, including a 15-year-old who was armed with a pistol. Officers found two more loaded guns as they processed the parking lot crime scene. No injuries were reported and police are continuing their investigation.
Intoxicated female found throughout Burien
Police were dispatched to the Burien Transit Center for a report of a female who was sitting on the ground babbling and rocking back and forth in the fetal position. The officer approached her and noticed an open container of "High Gravity" alcohol in her possession. He tried speaking to her but she was unable to answer even basic questions. She could not stand or walk and was clearly unable to care for herself. She was sent to Highline Medical Center for an evaluation. Four hours later the same officer found her passed out along the roadway near South 153rd St and 1st Ave. South. TriMed responded and stated this was the fourth time today that she was sent to Highline to detox.
