Assault
Kent Police cited a 25-year-old woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she reportedly punched her sister during a fight outside of a car at about 1 a.m. June 25 in the 22800 block of 68th Avenue South.
Officers received a call about a suspicious vehicle parked in the middle of the road along 68th Avenue South. When officers arrived at the location, they found a woman sitting on a curb with a cut left hand, according to the police report. The car had left.
The woman on the curb told police she got into a fight with her sister as they rode in a car driven by her sister’s husband. The sister and sister’s husband got into a fight because the husband refused to drive his wife to Seattle. The husband stopped the car in the middle of the road.
The two women got out of the car and began to fight when the one sister rejoined her husband in the car and left the other woman standing on the road.
Kent Police found out that Fife Police arrested the same 25-year-old woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault later on June 25 in a fight in Fife with her mother and another sister.
Liquor violations
Police cited two 18-year-old men for investigation of minor in consumption of alcohol after the two were found sitting in a car at about 1 a.m. June 25 in the parking lot of a bar in the 15400 block of Southeast Kent-Kangley Road.
Officers responded to a report of an intoxicated man in the parking lot who had entered a car, according to the police report.
Police spotted the car in the parking lot and contacted the driver. The officers reported they smelled alcohol coming from inside of the vehicle. The driver and a male passenger told officers they had drunk beer earlier in the night at Saltwater State Park in Des Moines.
Officers checked the identification of both men and discovered they were under 21, the legal age for drinking alcohol.
Both men agreed to take a portable breath test. One man tested for a blood-alcohol content level of 0.157. The second man tested for a blood-alcohol content level of 0.151.
A friend showed up to drive the two men home.
The men also told officers they had been inside the bar, but did not drink. One man said he participated in karoke and the other man said he played pool.
A bar employee told officers they kicked one of the men out of the bar after he stood on a table and yelled. The men had been inside the bar for about an hour and reportedly were never checked for identification.
Robbery
An 18-year-old man told police that another man robbed him of a gold chain off his neck during an incident at about 2:30 p.m. June 27 in the 10100 block of Southeast 256th Street.
The man told officers he was walking toward a bus stop when another man approached him and became angry because he thought the 18-year-old man had laughed at him, according to the police report.
As the two men stood next to each other, the one man slapped the other man in the face and ripped a gold chain off of his neck. The man then fled on foot and got into a vehicle.
Police continue to investigate the case.
Drugs
Two bicycle-patrol officers reportedly smelled marijuana as they rode past a bus stop June 25 in the 300 block of Railroad Avenue North.
The officers then spotted a man smoking as he sat on a bench at the bus shelter, according to the police report.
One of the officers asked the man for the cigarette and discovered it had cigar paper wrapped around with what appeared to be marijuana.
Police arrested the 18-year-old man for investigation of possession of marijuana. The man told officers he was smoking the last bit of marijuana he had bought earlier in the day and was smoking it before he headed home.
The man did not tell police where he had bought the marijuana.
