The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

A driver ran a red light, speeding 70 mph at a 35 mph zone Aug. 28, when an officer turned on lights on his patrol car. The driver pulled into the entrance of Maplewood Park Apartments, slowed down and stopped in front of the building once the officer turned his sirens on.

The driver exited the vehicle when the officer said, “Police, get back in the car.”

The male driver instead walked to the front of his car, then took off running. The officer chased the driver into a building and through several floors, yelling multiple times he was under arrest.

The officer finally caught the driver and handcuffed him. As the officer was taking the driver back to the patrol car, he asked if the driver wanted his running car turned off. The driver replied that he did not want the officer inside the car.

An unidentified female passenger of the vehicle was present when the driver first got out of his car, but she fled during the chase.

The driver was booked at SCORE jail in Des Moines for obstructing a law enforcement officer.

Grab and miss: A male in his late teens or early 20s, reportedly attempted to steal a woman’s necklace Aug. 28 while she was walking into the Safeway on South Third Street.

Vengeance be neighbor: A woman called to report that her boyfriend’s car was damaged Aug. 28 at Grammercy Apartments. She said the damage on the driver and passenger side doors and fenders, either by a key or sharp metal tool, was probably done by a neighbor as retaliation.

According to the woman, a neighbor had parked a car in her parking stall. She left a note on the car’s window saying that she would have it towed if it was parked there again. On the day of the crime, she found a note on her boyfriend’s car that said this was an assigned stall and if it was not moved, it would be towed.

Neither witnesses nor cameras were present at the time of the crime.
