An officer stopped the vehicle and asked the male what happened. He stated he and his 26-year-old wife were going through a divorce and had just exchanged vehicles to each other in the parking lot of the store, when she became belligerent. There were no signs of a physical dispute.

INTOXICATED

While on patrol an officer noticed two male subjects arguing near SR 410 March 26 at 1:06 a.m. The officer contacted a 20-year-old male at the scene and another responding officer spoke with a 19-year-old male, who was slurring his words and had trouble maintaining balance. When the officer asked what was going on, the 19-year-old began yelling at him. The officer could smell alcohol and it was obvious the man was intoxicated. The officer said he was under arrest for minor in consumption of alcohol, but the 19-year-old refused to place his hands behind his back. It was later discovered the two men are members of the Juggalos, a street gang associated with the “Insane Clown Posse.” The 19-year-old was booked in the Buckley jail for being a minor in consumption of alcohol.

SUMNER

BREAK-IN

On March 27, a resident retuned home from work to find his front door had ben broken into in the 5800 block of Parker Road. The officer went through the house with the homeowner, who estimated that $7,000 worth of property was taken. The officer interviewed a neighbor, who had heard someone stomping around but thought it was the resident, and a construction worker across the street, who didn’t see anyone.

FURNISHING ALCOHOL TO MINORS

On March 29, an officer noticed several parked vehicles outside a residence in the 15700 block of Elm, plus what appeared to be juveniles in the area. The officer got out of his patrol car and could hear people yelling about doing keg stands. Officers approached three individuals, one who said he was 20 years old and had been drinking. They asked the purpose of the party, and he said it was the owner’s 20th birthday. The officer contacted the birthday boy and placed him under arrest for furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol. The officers called for assistance from the multi-jurisdictional agency patrol. After sorting through guests, of those who had been drinking, eight were ages 18-20 and four were 17 or younger. The keg was confiscated as evidence.

FAILURE TO ID

On March 31, an officer spotted a pickup loaded with items in the 14600 block of 24th Street. The officer was suspicious since it is a dead end and a known-site for illegal dumping. The officer pulled alongside the truck and the driver said he thought the street went through to Highway 167. The officer reminded him he passed many dead end signs and asked to see ID. The driver declined, provided a name and asked if he was free to go. The office said yes but checked the name given with no results found. As the pickup moved away, the officer also noticed that the tabs had expired in 2003. The truck stopped for a passing train and the officer pulled the driver over. The driver continued to provide the same name and insisted he had no ID on him. He produced a title to the truck with a different name, and the officer observed there were no keys in the ignition, even though the truck was running. He placed the driver under arrest for failure to identifty self and located a booking photo with a different name that matched the driver. It listed warrants in Auburn and King County. The driver confessed to his real name and that he lied because of the warrants. The officer cited him and turned him over to Auburn.
