The two had separated and agreed upon joint custody of their dog Bugatti, but police were called to the woman’s apartment in the 17400 block of 120th Lane when a fight broke out.

The woman thought the man had spent more time with the dog that week than was fair. During the fight, the man allegedly kicked a bedroom door and broke it.

Three caught swimming after hours at Henry Moses pool

A Renton man and woman, plus a Maple Valley man were arrested after swimming in the Henry Moses Aquatic Center after hours and trying to evade police Aug. 27.

Police arrived at the center at about 5 a.m. after a janitor heard splashing and voices in the pool. When the officers turned on flashlights, the three fled the area and got in a car as officers told them to stop.

They attempted the drive away, but had to stop at a dead end. Police finally corralled the vehicle in the parking lot.

The officers said the female driver was very apologetic and cooperative, while the males were not. She told police the two males had told her she didn’t need to stop because it was just security, not the police.

She was cited for trespassing and released, while the men were arrested.

Woman hides under blanket, refuses treatment at hospital

A Renton woman was arrested for interfering with a health-care facility Aug. 27.

Police arrived at Valley Medical Center to find the 31-year-old woman unresponsive and unwilling to cooperate with doctors. The woman showed up at the hospital and claimed she was unable to walk due to severe neck pain.  She promptly curled up in a ball on the bed, refusing to move and refusing any treatment.

She yelled nonsense words at the doctors trying to help her. When police officers showed up, they found the woman covered completely with a blanket. She continued to yell and talk in incomplete thoughts and refuse to allow anyone to help her.

After several more warnings, police tried to arrest the woman, but her body went limp and she started to yell “abuse!” Officers waited for an ambulance to transport her. She later identified herself as a Sovereign Citizen, a group which believes they answer only to common law and not federal or state laws.
