June 1
Hit and run: 2 a.m., 27 15th St. NE. A driver backing up through an Arco gas station parking lot crunched an abandoned pole sign, then, so as not to answer for the sign crunchery, peeled out of said parking lot without telling anybody about the misdeed.
Trespassing: 2:04 p.m., 20 37th St. NW. A woman committed undisclosed, frowned-upon acts of badness at Complete Deburr, punching her ticket for three years of total banishment from the cutting tool manufacturer.
Burglary: Overnight, 300 block of 37th Street Southeast. Somebody broke into a construction trailer and stole undisclosed tools worth unknown dollars.
Shoplifting: 8:52 a.m., 1231 Auburn Way N. A man entered a business in Auburn, went into a storage room, loaded up a cart full of booze and skiped out an emergency exit. Police suspect this may have been the same man who carried out a string of recent shopliftings in Renton and Issaquah because the appearance of the man and his method of operation line up.
June 2
Fought the law and the law won: 12:52 p.m., 1200 29th St. SE. While firefighters were checking a woman passed out drunk on a sidewalk, the woman came to, turned nasty, balled up her fist and swung said fist at a fire captain. A police officer handcuffed the woman and busted her for third-degree assault, then, in the face of her vehement objections, hustled her off to the SCORE jail. There the woman spat in a correctional officer’s face, netting herself a grand total of three assault charges. The correctional officer and the firefighter weren’t hurt.
