Company’s vehicles vandalized

Feb. 13: The manager of a company located in the 19500 block of 144th Ave. NE called to report that while he was in the company’s parking lot, a picketer who had been hired to picket his company yelled to him, “Take a look at your trucks now!” Another picketer told his fellow picketer to be quiet. The manager began to look at the trucks and found one with the word ”RATS” painted in green on the door and another with tires flattened. The officer dispatched to the scene located a ladder with the same green paint used on the one truck, but the ladder’s owner was a picketer who denied having anything to do with the vandalism and he refused to allow a search of his vehicle. The man was detained and advised of his rights and while the officer spoke with the suspect, the other picketers suddenly got into their vehicles and left the scene. Due to lack of evidence and because no witnesses came forward to support or deny his claim, the picketer was released. There is no further information at this time.

I love you, I love you

Feb. 14: A woman called 9-1-1 explaining that the man she was dating had just stepped on her head after pushing her down. Officers at the scene noted that the bruises they were shown appeared to have been from earlier injuries. The suspect denied having stepped on her head and pushing her. The woman complained of major neck pain but continued to move her head and neck readily. The victim asked to be transported to the hospital, but then changed her mind when it was determined her boyfriend would not be going to jail. Officers described her as sobbing throughout the conversation but with no visible tears. The suspect left the scene, but as he was leaving she told him she loved him and he responded that he loved her. Officers encouraged her to go to court to obtain a protection order if she was afraid of him. She said she did not need one. There is no further information at this time.

February 14, Duvall: Maybe this person was so busy picking out a Valentine gift that they forgot to pay for it. Employees saw it and it’s backed up on video. Say “I love you” with a gift - one you pay for.

February 14, Duvall: This person lost their car in a residential area. In the condition (DUI-type condition), better to lose the car, than to drive it.

February 14, Carnation: Free pallets reported stolen. Local business noticed several pallets were missing. Police suggested a friendly sign be put up so folks will know the business still wants to keep them.

February 16, Duvall: What would a student want with the school master key? It’s not like it would increase their GPA. And it wouldn’t do any good, really, without the security code. Student busted.

February 16, Carnation: The sound of screeching tires drove this person to call police. Apparently the driver of said vehicle was still around, so police had a chit-chat about reckless driving.

February 16, Carnation: Now, here’s a ‘good’ reason to call 911: the shop didn’t return the customer’s phone call. Officer made a ‘good’ suggestion: call the shop again tomorrow during business hours.

February 16, Duvall: Guess the good feelings of Valentine’s Day had worn off by the 16th. Two people had to be separated for the evening after a discussion turned into domestic violence.

February 18, Duvall: Maybe this man never learned to color inside the lines, because he had trouble getting his truck parked inside the lines on Main Street. Officer found driver in a local bar, prior to sipping a cool one, and asked him to move the truck, just a smidgen, so it would be off the road.

February 20, Duvall: Too wide, too fast, two cars, one guardrail. Little mishap at the corner of Main and W/D got one driver a fender bender, and other driver a ticket to go with the fender bender.
