The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

In another report of shootings in the area, a Ford Escort was hit by a bullet close to where a Mercer Island woman was sitting at about 10:30 p.m. Dec. 7 while her son got gas for his Ford Escort.

The man reported hearing about 10 gunshots (other callers reported even more shots) near a gas station on Southwest Sunset Boulevard. Someone pointed out a bullet hole three days later.

The bullet hit the passenger side of the Escort behind the driver’s door. Damage was estimated at $1,000.

VOYEURISM ARREST: A 50-year-old Renton man was arrested for voyeurism Dec. 10, after he twice looked up the shorts of a 16-year-old girl, each time close enough to touch her leg with his head.

The incident occurred at a store at The Landing. The suspect told officers he was just trying to see the girl’s leg and did not touch or assault the girl.

He was drunk and has a previous felony conviction.

He booked into the SCORE regional jail.

NOT OK TO USE FAKE MONEY: A 22-year-old Seattle woman thought it would be OK to use a fake $50 bill to buy something at Wal-Mart on Rainier Avenue.

It was an obvious fake bill, smaller than a usual bill, with no safety features nor the correct lettering.

Still, she demanded that the clerk return it to her. She didn’t think it was illegal to pass fake money. And it was a remembrance from a friend.

She was arrested and when she was searched, an officer found a small baggie of methamphetamine in her purse. It weighed one ounce. She was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

CAN’T AVOID ESCAPE WARRANT: A 40-year-old Lake Stevens woman waited just a few seconds too long at about 11:30 p.m. Dec. 4 after the light turned green on Wells Avenue.

She finally drove off after a man got into her car, but she was stopped for impeding traffic. Her ID checked out and she really didn’t want the man to get into her car.

The man who got into her car initially gave the officer a wrong name. The right name then turned up a state felony warrant for escape from community custody. The 22-year-old Seattle man was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

ONE TOO MANY ESCAPES: Despite several activations the officer’s emergency equipment, the 33-year-old Tacoma man just wouldn’t pull over on North Park Drive.

Finally, he pulled over near an off-ramp from northbound I-405. He identified himself and the officer told him to not go anywhere while he verified the ID.

The man then drove off, driving recklessly on Northeast Sunset Boulevard and almost colliding headon with another vehicle.

The ID check showed a state felony warrant for escape from community custody.

He was arrested after parking his car at an apartment complex, after yelling racial slurs at an officer. He also asked the officer whether he worshipped Allah and wished that he would burn in Hell.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail on the warrant.
