Kent Police arrested a woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault and disorderly conduct after she reportedly threw objects all over the Fred Meyer store, 25250 Pacific Highway S., even firing one item at a store employee as well as knocking over a mannequin.
The woman allegedly grabbed a device employees use to reach highly displayed items and threw it at an employee, according to the police report about the 9:28 p.m. May 2 incident. She also threw clothes all around the store, busted open a 12-pack of beer when she hurled a shopping basket to the floor and knocked over a mannequin, although the mannequin didn’t break apart.
Officers stopped the woman in the store’s parking lot and noted they could smell intoxicants coming from her breath. She called officers derogatory names and said all cops are crooked.
The report didn’t indicate what upset the woman as she remained defiant to answering questions from officers. The woman also had a warrant out of Seattle for unlawful use of a weapon to intimidate another.
Man drives fast and furious
Officers arrested a man for investigation of reckless driving and driving while license suspended after reportedly spotting him driving 88 mph in a 45 mph zone at about 5:46 p.m. on May 3 near the 24600 block of Pacific Highway South.
The man claimed he had just bought the Acura Integra a few days earlier, was fixing the vehicle and had to see if it was working at a high speed, according to the police report. He also told the officer the car had a bad speedometer so he didn’t know how fast he was going.
When police searched the man they discovered he had a glass pipe in his pocket. The man admitted it was a pipe for smoking meth but didn’t admit he smoked meth.
Woman sits in stolen car
While on patrol at about 1:44 a.m. on May 1 through a Comfort Inn parking lot, 22311 84th Ave. S., an officer saw a woman in the driver’s seat of a car holding a silver item near the center console, possibly cutting wires.
When the officer ran a check on the car’s license plate, he found out the vehicle had been stolen out of King County, according to the police report.
The woman told officers a man gave her the vehicle to use and that she didn’t know it had been stolen. She said she was trying to fix a brake light on the car.
Police found in the vehicle a car key that had been shaven down, something thieves do to steal a vehicle. Officers found out the car had been stolen on April 30 from a Motel 6 parking lot in SeaTac.
Officers arrested the woman for investigation of possession of a stolen vehicle.
Man kicks officer
Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly kicked an officer in the shin during an incident at about 11:58 p.m. on May 1 in the parking lot of Sam’s Sports Bar, 23803 104th Ave. S.E.
Officers responded to the bar after an employee reported two men were refusing to leave the establishment, according to the police report.
The two men were running through the parking lot when officers arrived. Police were able to stop one man, who appeared to be very intoxicated as he swayed from side to side, had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes.
The man voluntarily got down on the ground and put his hands behind his back, so an officer handcuffed him. The officer checked on possible warrants for the man and walked back over to him. The man then allegedly kicked the officer in the shin.
Husband breaks wife’s phone
Officers arrested a man for investigation of third-degree malicious mischief and interfering in a report of domestic violence after he reportedly broke his wife’s cellphone and busted a stove burner during a dispute at about 4:11 p.m. on May 2 at a home in the 11600 block of Southeast 217th Place.
The wife told officers her husband grabbed her phone as she tried to call 911 during a dispute, according to the police report. The husband threw the phone to the floor, breaking the battery compartment. He also slammed the stove with a pan, which broke a burner.
The husband told police he looked at her phone to try to find evidence that she might be cheating on him. He admitted that he broke the phone.
