The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports.

Police investigated an alleged rape involving two special education department students from an area high school on Dec. 12.

One 16-year-old female student reported to a counselor that she had been raped by another 16-year-old female student over the weekend while the two babysat other children together.

Police found inconsistencies in the victim’s story. It was discovered that a sexual encounter did occur, but it was consensual. It was only reported by the victim as rape because she didn’t want it to look like she cheated on her other girlfriend.

No arrests were made in the case.

Daughter arrested

A father and daughter got into a physical fight that led to the woman’s arrest on Dec. 24.

Police and the Renton Fire Department responded to a report of a physical domestic dispute at a residence in the 1100 block of Union Avenue Northeast at 2:34 a.m.

The 38-year-old female suspect was outside yelling when police arrived. Her 62-year-old father was inside being treated by the fire department.

Apparently, the two started arguing when the daughter came home drunk and woke her father up from sleep. She is said to have punched him numerous times in the face and kicked the phone out of his hands as he called the police.

The woman’s boyfriend said he witnessed the scuffle and said it was because the woman brought home a man of a different race.

The woman was arrested for investigation of fourth-degree assault and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence.

Shoplift attempt

A Covington man attempted to shoplift from a local hardware store on Dec. 23.

An employee of McLendon Hardware witnessed the 23-year-old suspect conceal copper wire under his jacket and leave the store without attempting to pay for it.

The employee confronted the man, but the man eventually pushed the employee away and fled on foot.

At one point the suspect jumped into the back of a friend’s pick-up truck to escape.

When confronted again by store employees, the suspect fled again on foot.

The driver of the truck claimed not to know what was going on and called the suspect on the phone to come turn himself in to police.

Eventually, the suspect came back to the store with his mother. He explained that he took the wire because he is out of work and times are tough.

The suspect was issued a citation for theft, fourth-degree assault and trespassed from the store for a year.

Multiple burlgaries?

Possibly multiple suspects tried to burglarize a residence twice just moments after police investigated the first attempt on Nov. 25.

Police investigated an attempted burglary at a residence in the 11600 block of Southeast 164th Street after 6 p.m.

Someone or some people attempted to kick the door in and when they weren’t successful, they tried entering through a bedroom window.

The suspects put a hole in the sliding portion of a window with three rocks that wound up lying on the carpet in a bedroom.

Nothing was believed to have been taken, but police did discover fingerprints.

After police left, the residents were sitting in the living room when a rock was thrown through a front window.

Police believed that the suspects were attempting to burglarize the residence a second time.
