Photo by Steven H. Robinson

Our crime editor enjoyed running the entire month of September at one time and decided to do it again for October. That means lightly over the top, ignoring the frequent car prowls, the infrequent mail thefts, the burglaries, and listing only the slightly out of the ordinary.

Shoreline Police are now using the new SCORE jail facility in Des Moines. Several years ago, King County decided it needed a new jail and named locations around the county for study. After a great deal of public process, King county discovered that its need would be met by the new jail that Des Moines built and all the locations under study were dropped.

Crime in Shoreline: September at a glance

Sunday, October 19, 2014

As our crime editor was napping on the job last month, we are running the entire month of September at one time. That means we are going lightly over the top, ignoring car prowl, mail theft, and burglary and listing only the slightly out of the ordinary.

Crime in Shoreline - September 2014 

8-29  A repo man attempted to repo an occupied vehicle in the Costco parking lot from an unruly owner. The driver took off and ran over the repo man's foot, injuring it. The driver was charged with reckless endangerment.

8-31  Unknown suspect broke a glass over the head of  a woman at the Drift On Inn and fled in a vehicle.

9-1  Deputies contacted a man who was in the Full Gospel Church parking lot. He became agitated, took off his shirt and charged at deputies. They tazed him and took him into custody.

9-2  Victim reported theft of 50 signs for an open house he was advertising.

9-3  Highway Robbery at Fred Meyer: a Craig's List deal gone bad when the supposed buyer grabbed the iPad and ran. When the female seller chased him down, he pulled a knife on her.

9-5  Jewel thief stole $15,000 worth of jewelry from condo on NE 177th while owner was away.

9-5  76 gas station on Richmond Beach Road was the scene of a confrontation involving a gun. Suspect pointed gun at victim. As the victim walked away, the gunman fired into the ground.

9-14  Yellow cab driver flags down officer. Says his fare claims to work for police and they will pay the $30 fare.

9-15  Someone broke into rear entrance of Thai Bistro.

9-15  Recovered a $15,000 stolen bicycle that was being advertised on Craig's List.

9-19  Contacted male who was sleeping in the BECU lobby and discovered he was a missing person in a Lynnwood police case. Transported him to Swedish Edmonds where he was released.

9-20  Underaged drinking party went out of control - 17xx NE 148th.

9-21  Man gave his credit card number to phone caller who said he was collecting for law enforcement.

9-22  Thieves broke into the new Salvation Army store and stole a large amount of costume jewelry just before the store held its grand opening.

9-24  Victim reports that someone is submitting his telephone number to be spammed by email lists.

9-26  Complaint of chronic traffic jams at Echo Lake Elementary, as parents drop off kids in the morning and pick them up after school.

9-26  Woman reported that the flowers were stolen from her father's grave at Holyrood Cemetery.

9-27  Physical altercation between two patients at methadone clinic parking lot. 16715 Aurora Ave N.

Going over so many weeks at one time just brings it home to me how much we expect our police to be social service workers. We do not usually report domestic violence, child custody, death investigations, wandering elders, suicidal and otherwise acting out mentally ill, but police spend a significant amount of their time with these folk every week.
