KPD Blotter: KO'd Man Falls Into Window; Cuts Need Staples, Stitches
In other cases, a man at a downtown bar assaults a woman by slipping his hand into her underwear, a Rose Hill couple returns from a holiday trip to find their home burglarized and a Bothell man is arrested on Kirkland Ave with car theft tools.
The following are selected reports from the Kirkland Police Department for the period of Nov. 22-27. The reports do not indicate a conviction.
Nov. 22
- Sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. while she and a friend slept, unknown persons entered a 23-year-old woman’s Rose Hill apartment on 130th Avenue and stole two sets of keys and a purse. She lost three debit/credit cards and her driver’s license.
- Two brothers from Juanita, 21 and 22, were arrested for disorderly conduct early on Thanksgiving morning after one started a fight at Juanita pub. The other brother was also charged with obstructing an officer for continuing to interrupt and disrupt officers as they investigated the alleged assault. The victim of the assault was a 30-year-old Kirkland man, but no one at the pub was willing to serve as a witness. So the brothers were hauled away and booked on the two charges.
