The officer smelled the odor of pot when he approached the car, and the driver consented to  a search.

April 9

April 10

• After allegedly pointing a .38 caliber revolver at a 23-year-old Mountlake Terrace woman in a road rage incident on NE 132nd in the Totem Lake area at about 7:15 a.m., a 64-year-old Kirkland man was arrested for aggravated assault with a gun. Police confiscated the pistol, ammo and holster, and the man was taken into custody, his car impounded.
• A 56-year-old Kirkland woman was warned she would be trespassing if she again entered the Albertson’s on 132nd street in north Juanita after she created a disturbance in the store by confronting and yelling at her 58-year-old ex-husband, who was apparently was accompanied by a 53-year-old woman. The scene occurred just after 6 in the morning.

April 11

• Police took fingerprints and identified a 17-year-old suspected of breaking into a home on 110th Avenue near Juanita High School and stealing an Apple MacBook Pro laptop computer and two gold and diamond rings. The burglary occurred just blocks from the burglary above between April 6-11 and the victims were a man aged 44 and a woman 37. There is a witness, an 18-year-old man, and another 17-year-old youth involved. Police were waiting to see if the fingerprints matched the suspect.

The theft, at about 7:15 p.m., was witnessed by a 61-year-old woman from Texas, who apparently noted the license plate number. But the report indicated the plate was possibly stolen, apparently not matching the vehicle. The package had been delivered by Amazon, with parts for a Honda Prelude.
• Two runaway Redmond teens, a male 17 and a female 14, were arrested for criminal trespass after being chased by their parents and jumping a fence, then hiding in a storage shed at a residence on 131st Avenue NE in the Totem Lake area. Apparently one of the parents called police. The shed belonged to a 51-year-old resident. The teens were taken to the police station, booked and released to their awaiting parents.
