April 24

• A 15-year-old female from Spanaway was arrested at Fairfox Hospital in Juanita after she grabbed a nurse by the hair and threw her across the hallway.

The incident occurred at about 10:30 a.m.

April 25

• With the help of a cab driver, police identified a 26-year-old Kirkland man as a suspect in the theft from the cabbie of a $58 fare. The person fled without paying after arriving at a Kirkland destination just after midnight. Police showed the driver a montage of photos, and he picked out the Kirkland suspect with 75 percent certainty. However, police were not able to find the man at his Houghton residence.
