Aggravated assault
A male suspect was aggressively panhandling on the corner of 6th Avenue and Wall Street Jan. 20. The suspect followed two men down the street, insisting they give him money after they had refused. One victim touched the suspect’s shoulder and warned him that if he didn’t leave the two men alone he would call the police. The victim turned to walk away when the suspect hit him on the left side of his face with a glass jar, leaving a bruise and causing hearing difficulty in his left ear. The suspect was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon. He later said he became angry because “the white guy touched him,” so he hit him and ran.
Intoxicated Women
Two witnesses called in a non-aggravated assault incident taking place Jan. 21 in a parking lot near Denny Way and Stewart Street. A witness had seen a woman suspected of being intoxicated repeatedly kicking another woman who was lying on the ground in the head. When the victim was later questioned by police, it was discovered she was intoxicated to the point where she didn’t remember being kicked in the head and could provide no details as to who the suspect was or how the incident had happened. The suspect was found and arrested with the help of the two witnesses. The victim was treated on the scene by Seattle Fire Department and was later transported to the Sobriety Center.
Trespassing
A man was found trespassing in a photography studio located on Jackson Street Jan. 23. He had broken a window to access a fire escape into the studio and was found the next day by the owner. The suspect fled the scene and was not found. Nothing else was broken or stolen.
Club break-in
The Broadway club Neighbors was broken into Jan. 23 between 7:30 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. The suspect had forced his way in through two doors located at the entrance in the alley, breaking the latches on the doors. Several security cameras caught the suspect clearly on tape as he broke in, searched the place, stole five bottles of hard liqueur and attempted to break into the cash register. The suspect caused $500 in damage. The Seattle Police Department is still searching for the suspect.
Stolen shopping cart
Seattle Police arrested a woman who had stolen a shopping cart from the Safeway located in the 600 block of Jackson Street Jan 26. The suspect had repeatedly stolen shopping carts previously from other businesses, each one costing $200 to replace. She had been warned by police that if she stole any more shopping carts, she would be arrested. After being spotted by police, the suspect was searched. Police found a cigarette carton that was hiding two crack pipes coated with crack cocaine. The suspect was arrested and booked for theft and possessing and concealing narcotic paraphernalia.
