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

$1,200 stolen from car: At 1:14 p.m. on May 25 in the 35000 block of Enchanted Parkway S., $1,200, a $200 Kate Spade purse, a credit card, a Macy’s credit card and driver’s license were stolen from underneath the front seat of a woman’s car. The woman had parked her car in the LA Fitness parking lot. Police stated there is no suspect information at this time.

Shoplifters steal $1,000 of clothing: At 2:05 p.m. on May 25 at 1901 S. Commons, police arrested a man and two juvenile males for stealing $1,050 worth of clothing from Macy’s at The Commons mall.

Man strangles roommate: At 8:20 p.m. on May 25 in the 1400 block of SW Dash Point Road, a 41-year-old man was arrested for strangling a 37-year-old woman. The woman told police she shares a room with the man and they had an argument about her packing up her things and leaving. The man started throwing her belongings into the hallway.

She said she left for about 30 minutes and returned to find the door locked. As she entered the room, he began yelling at her and told her she was going to see the real side of him. He then shoved her across the room into a hanging mirror, which broke around her. He grabbed her throat, shoved her into a chair, got on top of her and strangled her. The woman told police she was afraid to move out of fear of being cut by glass. After a minute of not breathing, she started to see black dots. She freed herself enough to turn over but when she did she twisted her left arm.

The woman screamed “help me, get off” as loud as she could. She became free but he pulled her feet, yanking her off the chair. He refused to let her get her things but the woman asked others in the building for help, allowing her to sneak out to the ARCO and use the clerk’s phone to call 911.

In an interview with police, the man said the two shared a room but do not have an intimate relationship. When she said she wanted to leave, he didn’t oblige but said he wanted to see her bags because he believed she was stealing his things.

He said she started punching him and he blocked her by pushing her into the chair, which pushed into the mirror that broke. He said he may have grabbed her neck when he pushed her for about eight seconds. He said she left to another room, stating she was going to call the police, and he asked her if she wanted him to call.

He told police she asked him if he was going to tell them he was beat up by a girl. The woman then came back and sat in the chair, asking for a cigarette, he said. The man then said he asked her to leave and she hit him again. This was when he blocked her and pushed her into the chair.

Father calls police on son taking mushrooms: At 10:49 p.m. on May 25 in the 31800 block of 49th Terrace SW, a father reported his 17-year-old son was acting strange after taking mushrooms. Police interviewed the son and noted he appeared to be under “medical duress” but refused to talk to police. He did not appear to be a threat to himself or others so police told the father to call back if he did become a threat. Police closed the case because there was “no evidence located of any drug use.”

Man threatens to kill girlfriend: At 1:46 a.m. on May 24 in the 1700 block of SW 308th Place, a 34-year-old man was arrested for assaulting and harassing his 33-year-old girlfriend. The woman called 911 after her boyfriend pulled her hair during an argument and threatened to shoot her with a gun. The man left and the woman called police.

When police arrived, she was crying. She told police she had been with the man for seven years and they had a child together. Early that morning, the man was drinking and began to curse at her, demanding she turn over her cell phone. When she told him she was going to call 911, he threatened her and left. She told police that although he doesn’t have any guns, he “frequently associates with drug dealers who presumably could provide him with one.”

At 4:21 a.m., officers were patrolling the area and found the man sleeping in his van outside the couple’s apartment.

Man committed: At 3:22 a.m. on May 24 in the 1400 block of S. 348th St., a 35-year-old man was involuntarily committed because he was suicidal.

911 call cut short: At 3:43 a.m. on May 24 in the 100 block of SW Campus Drive, a woman called 911 and said, “hello,” and then yelled, “stop” before the phone line disconnected. Dispatch called back multiple times with no response. They traced the phone number back to the woman who called but a Department of Licensing address check revealed she had recently moved.

Valleycom dispatch pinged the woman’s phone with no luck on an exact location, but police went to the area to check the apartment complex that showed up in the area. The check did not turn up anything suspicious and resources via social media were also unsuccessful.

Monster Dollar burglary: At 7:45 a.m. on May 24 in the 32900 block of First Ave. S., police responded to a store burglary at Monster Dollar. The business’s $1,000 window was broken out from a large rock that was found inside. Police believe this was how the burglars entered the store to steal several BB guns.

Juvenile with knife: At 2:43 p.m. on May 24 in the 2400 block of SW 334th Place, a 911 caller reported a 13-year-old boy in an apartment complex with a knife. Police found the boy and took the knife, which was to be destroyed. He was released to his father and stepmother with a notice of trespass.

Man chases boy with gun: At 3:57 p.m. on May 24 in the 4700 block of SW 320th St., officers responded to a report that a male was chasing another 16-year-old boy through the parking lot of BigFoot Java. One male was seen with a silver semi-automatic pistol. Police couldn’t find the males but recovered a wallet belonging to the boy a witness had provided. The witness told police the boy attempted to rob the other man who then chased him down and assaulted him.

Walkers find dead body: At 10:57 a.m. on May 23 in the 30800 block of 44th Ave. SW, some people were walking along the Dumas Bay beach when they found a deceased body on the shoreline.

During the investigation, officers located a wallet on the body and determined it was a 17-year-old male, a local student. Police matched the identification to a vehicle parked in the parking lot. The boy’s sister called 911 later that day to report him missing. Police notified the family, who was shocked and questioned if it was suicide or murder.

The King County Medical Examiner responded to the scene. Police recovered a stolen Bryco Arms Jennings handgun and believe it was used in his suicide.

Men assault, steal woman’s phone: At 7:27 p.m. on May 23 in the 1800 block of S. 320th St., a woman was looking at her cell phone on a bench outside of Old Country Buffet when five men approached her and hit her cell phone out of her hand. One suspect pushed her and grabbed the phone before all of them ran back to a nearby black SUV, laughing. She chased them but was pushed again and fell backwards. The woman suffered a broken finger and other injuries. The suspects fled the scene.
