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

The 29-year-old Sequim man knew he was in trouble anyway, so why not let the Renton Police officer look inside his “kit” filled with his heroin and drug paraphernalia.

The officer found him passed out at about 2:30 a.m. July 13 at an apartment complex on Union Avenue Northeast in a silver Acura whose windows were covered by clothing and other items – except for a small slit.

An officer knocked on a window and the man discarded a needle and moved his silver kit to the floor before uncovering the window.

He was taking care of the car because its registered owner was arrested on warrants. He was trying to raise money to get back to Sequim.

There was a loaded syringe inside his kit. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug possession.

WRONG-WAY RIDER ARRESTED: An officer on an emphasis patrol in downtown Renton July 15 stopped a 56-year-old Covington man for riding his bike the wrong way, without a helmet on Wells Avenue South.

He had just emerged from a market, leaned against the building and took a swig from a large can inside a brown paper bag. Officers had to take fingerprints to get his correct name and birthday. He had been drinking.

He was cited for riding his bike the wrong way on a one-way street, no helmet and the open container.

Officers with the Police Department’s Directed Enforcement Team were downtown to address merchant and citizen complaints made to city administrators about open drinking, drug use, public urination and street crime downtown.

DOWNTOWN PURSE SNATCHING: A 19-year-old Maple Valley woman held on tightly at about 1 p.m. July 16 when a man grabbed her cell phone and purse on Northeast 10th Street.

The man, who came out of the bushes, had asked to use her phone, which he grabbed. But she reached out before he could get completely away with her purse.

She held on as he ran along a gravel parking lot. Fearing the suspect would stop and hurt her, she let go and fell to the ground, hurting her elbow and lip. The man kicked her while she was down.

She rode around with the officer but didn’t spot the suspect. Her debit card was stolen in the robbery.

SHOOTING THREATS: Police were called at about 1 p.m. July 16 to the downtown Fred Meyer after a Renton man threatened to shoot people in the store.

He apparently is dying of cancer and is not worried about consequences and may be looking for a fight with police.

It is believed he had a gun and potentially is a threat to police and the public.

DOG ATTACK: A 47-year-old Renton man was clawed on his face July 12 while trying to protect his dog he was walking at Jones Park from an attack by another dog.

His elbows were cut when he fell to the ground. His dog didn’t appear to be hurt.

Two dogs described as pit bulls were walking on leashes, when one attacked the leashed smaller dog. Two Good Samaritans and the dogs’ walker pulled the dog away.

The two dogs live on Mercer Island and were being cared for in Renton while their owner was on vacation. The dog walker was cited for a leash-law violation.

SHOTS AT HOUSE: A 33-year-old Renton man was arrested for investigation of first-degree assault after a house on Grandey Way Northeast was shot at several times early on July 11.

Officers knew of a possible suspect when they spotted him walking down the street, carrying his rolled up shirt in the crook of his arm. He was stopped and frisked for weapons in his waistband and pockets. No weapons were found.

The rolled up shirt was next to him. An officer felt something hard inside. The suspect answered “nothing” when asked what was inside the shirt, then “I don’t know” when asked again. An officer found a pistol inside the balled-up shirt with an empty magazine. A single bullet was ejected from the pistol.

Three shell casings from a Ruger pistol were found about four feet from the front door at the house on Grandey.

The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of first-degree assault, domestic violence. There had been an argument at the residence just a short time earlier.
