When the Ballard woman advertised an apartment for rent on Craigslist, she didn’t know that she’d be getting such detailed applications. One e-mail respondent sent a sexually explicit letter and three raunchy photos, including one of an erect penis.
A man called 911 to report a sexual assault in the restroom of a West Seattle restaurant. But when the officer arrived at his home to take a statement, the man said he had been drunk and that the fondling had been mutual. While recounting the tale he suddenly became upset, called the officer a “pig,” and screamed, “F&% off! Get out of my house!”

A young man didn’t appreciate that his parents were sharing childhood stories with his girlfriend. He threw a glass against a wall, yelling, “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you both!” His father picked up a stool (defensively, an officer later determined) and prodded the 19-year-old, telling him to leave the apartment. The young man was booked into King County Jail for investigation of harassment. Officers also confiscated a bong from his room, which smelled heavily of marijuana.

The Ballard woman accused her friend of stealing her prescription Oxycontin. The friend was offended at this notion and started emptying her pockets to show that she didn’t have the drugs. She was vindicated when no pills were found. Too bad that some of her friend’s jewelry was. The thief left before officers arrived.
Concerned friends called 911 when they went to check on a buddy they hadn’t heard from in several days and found a suicide note taped to a TV. Officers did a more thorough check of the residence and found several knives on a bed and dried blood on a bathroom wall and on a bath mat. They did not, however, find the missing man.
After passing a patrol car at 51 miles per hour (in a 35 mph zone), weaving across lanes of traffic, and slamming into a curb so hard that he flattened his front tire, the driver admitted to the officer that he’d had one drink. He also explained that the rear-end damage on his car was from two weeks earlier, when he had backed into a pole.

The shoplifter pocketed items worth $32, but they ended up costing him far more: Officers transported the light-fingered fellow to King County Jail when they discovered he was wanted on a $50,000 felony warrant.
A woman was upset when she learned that her former partner—the father of her children—had been shot. Her current lover’s response: “Just get over it.” And when the woman wasn’t quick enough to do so, the current paramour punched her in the face three times. The lover (who has 14 aliases) wound up in King County Jail for investigation of aggravated domestic violence assault.

Videotape shows that a downtown jeweler was victimized by a woman suspected of stealing over $100,000 worth of bling and baubles from stores in Washington and Oregon. In this case, she got away with a tennis bracelet and two diamond rings.
A restaurant owner wanted a disruptive patron barred from the premises. (He’d been kicked out the previous day for spitting all over the floor and had decided to pay a return visit.) Officers obliged and, in fact, discovered that the man was wanted on over $10,000 worth of warrants for DUI, reckless driving, and failure to appear. The 35-year-old was booked into King County Jail.
A Seattle businessman was dismayed to discover that over the course of four months his former bookkeeper managed to embezzle $21,000.
A 14-year-old girl downed over two hundred 500mg pain pills and then left a phone message for her sister, who alerted 911. Officers arrived at the home and found the victim in bed, moaning and vomiting. She was taken to the hospital for treatment.
