The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:

Upset woman suicidal: At 11:42 a.m. on June 14 in an unknown block on S. 317th St., a woman was involuntarily committed. The woman refused to open the door for police to administer aid. The officer involved said she was crying and requesting he go away. She finally opened the door and said she took several Percocet pills because she was upset with her boyfriend, who was not home at the time.

Man sneaks into movies: At 3:06 p.m. on June 14 in the 2000 block of S. Commons, a man snuck into two movies without paying at Century Theatres. He also matched the description of one suspect who snuck into the theaters on several occasions, pulling fire alarms and setting off fire extinguishers in the process.

Bullet hole found in cabinet wall: At 3:34 p.m. on June 14 in the 1200 block of SW 318th St., a 56-year-old man discovered a bullet hole in his home. The bullet hole was in the wall inside a cabinet above a second shelf. He then went outside to the patio area in his backyard and saw the hole on the outside of the house as well. The man went back to his kitchen and discovered a bullet lodged in the wood framing inside the cabinet. He’s unsure when the incident took place but believes it occurred overnight.

Dog bites girl’s hand to the bone: At 4:12 p.m. on June 14 in the 35700 block of Sixth Ave. SW, a dog attacked another dog and dragged it 30 feet after breaking through a fence. During the incident, the victim dog owner’s 14-year-old daughter tried to intervene but was severely bitten on the left hand, exposing bones and tendons.

Police walked to the fence and saw a large opening and blood drops in the backyard leading to the porch. Upon contacting witnesses, an officer located the dog attacker’s owner. He walked up to a group of six people and spoke to a man, who appeared intoxicated.

A woman told police the girl’s dog had broken through their fence and attacked her, not the other way around. But police told the woman they had physical evidence that suggested otherwise. After telling them that the dog would need to be taken to the Humane Society of Tacoma or Pierce County for quarantine, the woman became belligerent, started asking questions and arguing. She told the officer to “go call a cop,” to which the officer requested a patrol unit to assist.

The group became increasingly agitated and the officer perceived them to be “coming together in a mob mentality.” The officer went back to his car and while he was waiting, two people approached him. He told them to return to where they were and keep to themselves.

“The group was making inaudible murmurings and appeared to be only minimally compliant,” the police report states.

As more officers arrived, the woman brought out the dog and secured her in the kennel to go into the Federal Way Animal Services truck. Her sister was served a vicious dog declaration notice but was reluctant at first to sign it. The officer then went to the other residence and helped the owners put their obese dog on a stretcher to go to the veterinarian as he appeared to be ataxic. The total cost of the medical and veterinarian bills amounted to $945.

Woman finds marijuana on porch: At 5:35 p.m. on June 14 in the 31800 block of 49 Terrace SW, a woman found a small amount of marijuana in a plastic bag on her porch. She told police she wanted to turn it over so that it could be destroyed. Police took it and booked it into property for destruction.

Shoplifter gets busted with drug paraphernalia: At 5:41 p.m. on June 14 in the 2100 block of S. Commons, a man stole $300 worth of merchandise from Kohl’s. He also violated a no-trespassing order, as he had previously shoplifted from Target. After he was arrested, police searched him and found drug paraphernalia associated with smoking heroin.

Mother threatens daughter with knife: At 7:44 p.m. on June 14 in the 32800 block of 20th Ave. S., a 57-year-old mother was arrested for threatening her 39-year-old daughter with a knife. While the two were in an argument, she picked up the knife, held it above her head and threatened to kill her daughter. As the two were separated by another woman, the mother repeatedly made threats of killing her daughter before eventually setting the knife down and walking out of the residence.

Police interviewed the daughter who told them she was sent to the store earlier that day but lost some of the money her mother gave her.

It was during this argument that her mother grabbed an eight inch knife and held it overhead in a stabbing motion. She told officers she took the threat seriously, however, would not provide a written statement. The mother told police her daughter is a bully and she had armed herself with a knife only in defense. She said her daughter kept “coming at her.” She denied making verbal threats but was booked into SCORE jail for investigation of second degree domestic violence assault.

Couple argues over cats: At 10:18 p.m. on June 14 in the 2000 block of S. 291st St., a husband and wife of 10 years got into an argument about their cats. The wife told police her husband threatened to kill their cats with an axe. When police spoke to him, he said he would never do that to his animals but he would get rid of them. He also told police their relationship has been under a lot of stress lately. The wife left for the night to calm the situation.

Driver harasses female pedestrian: At 6:34 p.m. on June 13 in the 31900 block of Second Lane SW, a female reported an unknown male tried to talk to her from his car as she was walking. She tried to ignore him but he followed her as she walked toward South 320th Street and First Avenue South. She entered an apartment complex to hide from him.

She then flagged down a resident at the apartment complex who called 911. Police could not find the man but he’s described as a man of mixed race, possibly African American or Asian, with dark shoulder length hair, about 35-40 years old. The woman told police he was driving a newer model black BMW.

Man threatens shooting: At 7:12 p.m. on June 13 in the 32000 block of 41st Place SW, a witness told police he saw a man and woman arguing when he heard the man yell, “You want me to shoot you?” The witness then heard the sound of a handgun slide being pulled back and released.

The suspect was holding a silver semi-automatic handgun. The man then got into a red car and fled the area going westbound on Southwest 321st Street. The woman walked the opposite direction. Another officer located a red Chrysler, which turned up stolen.

While in the process of recovering the car, the officer found a black .40 caliber FXN handgun, which was also stolen. However, police could not find the suspect. He is described as a Pacific Islander man in his mid-30s with a thick, muscular build and short beard. He has tattoos on his arms and is believed to be carrying a silver semi-automatic handgun.

Sibling strangles pregnant sister: At 1:26 p.m. on June 12 in the 30800 block of SW 18th Place, two siblings got into an argument.

The police report notes the victim possibly lost consciousness during the strangulation.

Teenage boy escapes hospital: At 4:20 p.m. on June 12 in the 34500 block of Ninth Ave. S., a nurse from St. Francis Hospital reported a suicidal teenage boy ran from an emergency room ambulance bay at the hospital. The 17-year-old was wearing a hospital gown and socks.

AMR personnel told police they saw him running wearing only boxers. He had been involuntarily committed by his grandfather the day prior because he was thinking of “killing himself but the voices told him not to.” Police detained him near South 336th Street and Interstate 5 and was transported back to the hospital before being transported to Fairfax Hospital.

Crying girl at bus stop: At 5:28 p.m. on June 12 in the 28200 block of Pacific Highway South, police observed a girl crying with two friends who were consoling her at a bus stop. The officer asked what happened and they replied that another female had hit their friend. The victim complained of head pain and had a visible abrasion on her right elbow. Aid was initially requested but then canceled at the girl’s request.
