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

An assault at Gene Coulon Park at about 6:45 p.m. June 14 moved to Garden Avenue North, where an estimated three dozen teenaged girls got into a huge street fight.

After the initial fight, one combatant sent a Facebook message to the other girl, challenging her to “round 2.”

Apparently there’s been a lot of drama between the girls. Mace was sprayed during the fight on Garden Avenue near Lowe’s.

The teens began to disperse as officers arrived. One of them was extremely agitated, screaming at the officer, “stop talking to [her]” and “get out of [her] face.”

A crowd of between 30 and 50 young people had gathered, creating a “very chaotic and dynamic” scene.

Detectives were reviewing the case for possible charges, although the officer noted there was “mutual aggression.”

“The scene was one of more difficult to process due to the sheer lack of cooperation and initial hostility toward law enforcement,” an officer wrote.

WOMAN THREATENED WITH CHLOROFORM: A 19-year-old Auburn woman was robbed of $20 June 4 by four men who threatened to disable her with chloroform and kidnap her if she didn’t turn over her money.

The strong-arm robbery happened at about 9:40 p.m. outside the Safeway store on South Third Street.

Officers detained the four men near Logan Avenue South. The victim identified the one who took her $20.

The suspect denied taking anything and told officers he was at a nearby stop buying pizza, but none of the men had a pizza.

The 23-year-old suspect was arrested for investigation of second-degree robbery and booked into the King County Jail. An officer found a $20 bill in his pocket.

A $1,025 STEALING SPREE: A 35-year-old Renton woman picked out a suitcase at Walmart on Rainier Avenue, then walked to the sports department where she picked out a football, which she put in a plastic bag.

She picked out a drink, consumed part of it, then put the rest in her purse. She walked out of the store, where she was stopped by a store security officer who found 63 items worth nearly $745 inside a bag.

After she was arrested, a Renton Police officer found IDs belonging to others and additional stolen items, for a total theft of $1,025.

Inside a hide-a-key box in the purse was a clear crystalline substance the officer recognized as methamphetamine that she said belonged to her nephew. She was now facing felony charges for drug possession and theft.

She was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

On June 16, she reported that someone had used a Visa card that belongs to her mother that had been confiscated by her arresting officer. She suspects the officer spent $417 at Nordstrom’s using the card and wants to file theft charges.

CAR PROWLED: A laptop and tote bag were stolen at about 5 p.m. June 14 from a vehicle parked at the Renton Community Center.

A rear passenger window was broken. The victim is a 72-year-old Ellensburg woman.
