The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

He felt sick to his stomach Nov. 2after learning the 2014 Ford Focus he had been driving for several months was a stolen vehicle.

He bought the car for $18,000 in cash from a man who lives near Seattle International Raceway in Kent who apparently is involved in several kinds of property crimes.

The 43-year-old Renton man, who was carrying a Fugitive Recovery Agent (bounty hunter) badge, had wondered whether it was stolen.

It was.

An Renton Police officer stopped to help out the man standing next for the Focus involved in an accident on South Puget Drive. A convoluted story unfolded; the driver of the Focus had left, feeling sick to his stomach.

Feeling ill himself, the Renton man asked to sit in the officer’s cruiser. First, he was frisked, revealing a box of hypodermic needles he uses to inject himself with steroids. He then decided not to sit in the officer’s car. He wasn’t free to leave.

The officer found several documents in the Focus that contained the man’s name. He admitted he hadn’t been truthful, but insisted he didn’t steal the Focus. The ignition was damaged. His friend had fled because he might have warrants.

The Renton man was booked into the King County Jail for possession of a stolen vehicle. The legitimate owner was determined and officers were trying to figure out whether the bounty-hunter badge was legitimate.

PRICE CHECK ON CRAZY: A 23-year-old Seattle man grabbed a barcode reader from a cash register at Fry’s Electronics Nov. 4 and held it like a weapon behind his back.

He called out to two employes, “Which one of you said I’m a crackhead?” The two had just talked about returning merchandise to the sales floor.

A store security officer was called to the customer service desk; a Renton Police officer outside completing paperwork was alerted.

The man appeared under the influence of drugs, talking incoherently and having difficulty controlling his movements. He was there to pick up his cellphone, which was told was in lost and found at the store.

The officer told him several times needed to leave the store, but he wouldn’t do so without his cell phone. There was no lost phone at the store.

Eventually, the officer arrested him for trespassing and he was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

A NOISY COMPLAINT: A 43-year-old Seattle man who had “a bad bus experience” yelled at and threatened other patrons at the Metro Transit Center Nov. 4 in downtown Renton.

Officers found the man smoking a cigarette and yelling out loud.

He appeared irritated, fidgeting with his hands, and he smelled of alcohol.

He told officers he was yelling because he had a bad bus experience. He was trying to catch the next bus to Burien.

He was arrested on a warrant for indecent exposure and transferred into the custody of the Tukwila Police Department.

HOME BURGLARY: A Renton woman’s TV and jewelry were among items stolen Nov. 2 from her home on Shelton Avenue Northeast.

The burglars had entered the home through a back door, which they unlocked after breaking a side window. Also stolen were a gift certificate and about $100 in coins.

The jewelry and TV were worth about $1,000.
