A woman was walking from her car to her apartment on 48th Ave. W. when she said she noticed a man with a large build wearing a hooded sweatshirt standing nearby. She reached for the front door and heard his footsteps. She tried to open the door to her apartment when the man grabbed her key and her arm and whispered something sexual in her ear. She got away and ran to the complex’s office. She later went home and the man was gone. She told the officer she didn’t recognize the man, but she also didn’t get a good look at his face. She says she will call police if she sees him again.

Officers were dispatched to an apartment complex on 52nd Ave. W. after a neighbor called to report a dispute between a man and a woman outside. Upon arriving, officers spoke to the woman in question. She said she found sugar in her gas tank. Her ex-boyfriend said she was attacked by the woman. He told officers she had “gone crazy” and started pounding on his apartment door. He told officers he answered the door, but she started yelling at him and said she grabbed his left arm and slapped him in the face. The officer didn’t see any marks consistent with such an attack. The woman confirmed she started it by going over there, but says her ex-boyfriend pushed her away from the door when he answered it. He denied assaulting her. Officers couldn’t determine a probable cause because of the conflicting statements. There were no witnesses. Officers did look at the woman’s gas cap and saw a granular substance that may have been sugar.

An officer was parked in the 7000 block of 226th St. SW. when a white Dodge Ram drove past. The truck didn’t have a light illuminating the rear license plate, so the officer pulled it over in the 22400 block of Highway 99. The officer told the driver her light was out. The driver said she was unaware the light was out and actually checked it the day before. The driver gave her name to the officer. She had two outstanding warrants, so she was arrested. When the officer put her in the patrol car, she said she had recently had an abortion, so the officer brought her to Swedish Hospital in Mill Creek before bringing her to the Snohomish County Jail.
