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

Officers found them asleep in the front seat of the sedan at about 8:30 a.m. on Northeast 16th Street, a glass pipe on her lap and aluminum foil covered with burn marks on his lap.

The officers stood there for several minutes; the car was idling in park. The glass pipe is typically used to smoke narcotics. There were plastic bags inside a pouch on his lap.

There were a Stihl blower and a Stihl trimmer in the back seat.

They startled awake when an officer tapped on the window. The man started to cry when he was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. The drugs weren’t his. The woman tried to push the drug paraphernalia off her lap.

She was arrested; the officer found what appeared to be heroin. But she told the officer it was brown sugar made to look like heroin. A girl had given her the fake heroin (bunk) to sell if she needed money.

They had already smoked all the real heroin.

Then there were the blower and trimmer in the back seat. She had driven the man and two others to an apartment complex on Maple Valley Highway, where the tools and other garden tools were stolen.

The officer called dispatch; the apartment manager was calling 911 to report the stolen tools which all had ownership markings.

The two Renton residents were allowed to leave; the vehicle was seized as evidence. Both are known from prior contact with officers.

Not the drive-in

A silver Toyota Camry caught the attention of a resident on South Tobin Street Dec. 1 at about 9:30 p.m. after it hadn’t moved for about two hours. She called police.

An officer found a man and woman inside, watching a movie on a cellphone.

The officer checked for warrants, discovering the man was wanted on one in Pierce County. A meet was arranged to turn over the 28-year-old Renton man to a Washington State Patrol trooper.

At least he tried

A 67-year-old Seattle man was hit in the nose with a stolen bottle of liquor Nov. 18 when he tried to stop the thief from leaving Walgreens on Rainier Avenue South.

The victim heard a clerk ask one of the men whether he intended to pay for the liquor he concealed under his coat. He intervened and had nearly pushed the thief back into the store when a second man hit him with the liquor bottle.

The two suspects ran off in different directions before police arrived. The victim was treated by Renton medics.
