The follow information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports:

A Renton Police officer was threatened with harm by a 52-year-old transient Nov. 1 found sleeping under an awning on South Third Place.

The officer has had 30 to 40 contacts with the man over the years, but there have never been such threats of harm.

The man’s speech was slurred, he smelled of alcohol and a bottle of what appeared to be urine was next to him. He was ordered to collect his belongings and leave and not return to that location.

The suspect became belligerent and yelled at the officer, calling him a “young punk.” Twice he threatened to put a bullet in the officer’s brain.

The officer arrested the man after learning of two warrants, one for unlawful transit conduct and one for third-degree theft. The man refused to turn so the officer could handcuff him.

The officer pulled the man to the ground and the suspect was handcuffed with the help of another officer. The force was necessary, the officer wrote, because of the warrants, the man was drunk and he had threatened the  two officers several times.

The suspect was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

‘John Doe’ arrested for smoking at shelter

A “John Doe” was arrested Oct. 26 at the south Renton park and ride lot for smoking in the bus shelter.

The man was lying on a metal bench, smoking, as the officer approached. Where is it posted he can’t smoke? the man asked the officer. The officer pointed to the warning sign in front of him.

The man offered his name but officers couldn’t confirm it because he had no picture identification.

He was booked into SCORE regional jail for unlawful transit conduct. He refused to change into jail clothing and was placed in a padded cell.
