May 21
Trespassing: 5:42 a.m., 101 Auburn Way S. When Safeway decided it no longer wanted a particular twosome of wrongdoers hanging out, giving the joint unwanted character, out the door those two went, he and she.
Theft: 12:14 a.m., 2790 Auburn Way S. Two barely-able-to-stand-on-their-own-feet-in-an-AM/PM-parking-lot-they-were-so-drunk women got into a boozy, early morning fight. After a store employee warned that he or she was about to call police on the two, this dude the women had been hanging with, declaring modestly that waiting for law enforcement would be detrimental to the interests of his own hide, which police were eager throw in jail because of some past wrongdoing noted on a warrant, bolted in his car with a purse belonging to one of the women inside, which hasn’t been seen since.
Animal problem: 1:35 p.m., 3030 R St. SE. In the early afternoon of a soggy Petpalooza, leashes got entwined, tempers flared, harsh barks were exchanged and two dogs got into a scrum. While one of the owners was trying to break up the fight, said owner’s dog bit him or her on the hand, whereat dogs and owners made their hasty exit from Game Farm Park. Neither dog had visible injuries.
