The following information was compiled based on City of Renton police reports.
A Renton man was warned to make no further contact with a Renton woman after stalking behavior.
The 54-year-old woman found a note on her car Aug. 18 that addressed her as “Parrot Lady,” expressed romantic interest, and directed her to a website. The woman owns a parrot and has several bird statuettes in her front yard.
The website contained a video of a man punching a punching bag at an LA Fitness. A co-worker told her to not worry and threw the note away.
She found another note the next week reiterating romantic interest, including lines like “Cold nights, no lights, long nights you made me smile and held me down.”
At this point the woman contacted police. She had noticed a car frequently parked across the street from her house and gave police the license plate number.
From the number, police were able to find the 49-year-old Renton man who left the notes. The man has an active Sexual Assault Protection Order against him in Tukwila and is a convicted felon.
When police investigated, they found the woman who had the order against him (the two had previously lived together and been in a relationship) was also 54, had a very similar appearance to the second woman, and also had decorative birds in her front yard.
There was not probable cause for an arrest, but police warned the man to stay away from the woman.
Man throws girlfriend, dogs outside
A Renton man was cited for domestic assault after he threw his girlfriend on the ground Sept. 6.
The 27-year-old Renton man and 24-year-old Issaquah woman had been dating off and on for eight years. They rode in a taxi home from a wedding and fought over who would pay.
Once inside their home on 17th Place Northeast, the woman said her boyfriend went “berserk” and told her to leave. She was gathering her things when he threw her to the ground several times before finally throwing her out the front door onto cement steps.
The woman told police she had to delay calling 911 because the man also threw her dogs out and the front door and she had to chase them around the neighborhood to catch them.
Police couldn’t find the man but cited him for domestic assault.
