The suspect was arrested and taken to Fife jail.

• At 10:44 a.m. Feb. 9, a bullet was thrown by an unknown subject through a child’s window at 35405 23rd Ave. SW.

• At 7:01 p.m. Feb. 9, a suspicious unknown male began knocking at numerous doors telling people that he didn’t want to get hurt or shot.

• At 11:51 a.m. Feb. 7, a student reported to the school counselor and police officers that she was forced into sexual assault with a known juvenile male in Seattle against her will.
