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

An officer on an emphasis patrol cited an Arizona man May 14 for walking his chihuahua “Louie” in Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, where pets aren’t allowed, then transported him to the Kent City Jail on arrest warrants.

The citation came after City of Renton parks officials have reported an increasing number of park visitors ignoring the posted no-pets signs at the park.

The man turned over custody of Louie to a woman with him before he was taken to Kent. He had one no-bail warrant from Kent and several others.

Gun found in teen disturbance

Officers responding to a disturbance involving several teenagers the night of May 14 near the old Renton City Hall found a gun under a vehicle.

The gun was found when a male not involved in the dispute asked if he could drive away. The handgun was a .45-caliber semi-automatic.

The disturbance started when some in the group started “throwing gang signs.” Officers were told that one of the teens said he had a gun.

The report was for information only because none of the teens involved actually saw a gun.

Wedding ring, cash stolen

A man’s wedding ring, a silver Movado watch and $350 in cash was taken in the burglary of a home May 13 on South 34th Place.

On returning home, a resident saw dirty footprints on his carpet. He followed them to his office, which was in disarray. Under the office window outside was a five-gallon bucket, which the burglar likely used to get inside.

An officer took fingerprints from the window glass.

The burglar also rifled through the jewelry box belonging to the man’s wife, but it was unclear immediately if anything was taken.

Woman punched in nose

A 29-year-old woman suffered a punched nose May 13 on Williams Avenue North when she and her ex-boyfriend argued over payment for a traffic ticket.

A neighbor called 911 after hearing a woman scream and seeing a man running away. The woman was still in her car when officers arrived, her nose bleeding profusely.

The woman told officers the 27-year-old ex-boyfriend from Seatac owed her money for a ticket he received and for failing to return a car she rented. An infant was in a car seat in the back seat; the woman told officers she had just broken up with the man after a six-year relationship. The infant is theirs.

The woman told officers she didn’t want the ex-boyfriend prosecuted, but she did want him to get help. He was issued a citation for fourth-degree assault – domestic violence.
