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

A casino security camera on May 8 caught a 40-year-old Seattle man in the act of stealing another gambler’s cell phone.

The victim, a 37-year-old Burien man, left his phone charging on one table while he played cards on another, checking it every so often.

He last checked it at about 2:20 a.m. The casino’s security cameras showed the suspect just minutes before unplugging the phone, then hiding it in his palm and sitting down at another table.

The casino on East Valley Road was able to identify the suspect from the video. A charge of third-degree theft was referred to Renton prosecutors.

BLOCK THOSE CALLS: A 52-year-old Renton man has had enough of harassing telemarketers.

He asked the caller to please stop calling from a 425 area code and to tell his co-workers to do the same.  But the calls continued, with a different four numbers at the end of the phone number.

He was getting tired of putting them in his block-number account.

His plea to police: “Could someone please ask them to stop?”

NEEDED THAT COFFEE: Renton Police officers needed to use a portable fingerprint scanner at about 1 a.m. May 2 to identify an uncooperative woman who fell asleep in her car trying to find money to pay for her coffee.

The 24-year-old Burien woman initially had trouble focusing on what to order at the Bigfoot Java on Bronson Way North. She finally placed her order but then searched throughout her entire car to find money to pay for it.

By now an officer was approaching her car, after 911 was called.

The suspect gave officers a wrong name and wrong birth dates. Finally her name was confirmed. She was arrested for making false statements. In searching her, officers found a bag of what she said was Suboxone and another bag containing a substance that tested as heroin.

She was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug possession. She also had a state Department of Corrections warrant for escape from community custody.
