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

An 18-year-old convicted felon was arrested again on April 1 after he was identified as the man who tried to break into a parked car on Langston Road Southwest.

Renton Police found him a few blocks away, talking to another young man who also matched the would-be car thief. But a witness identified the Renton man.

He was walking to school and didn’t try to break into any car.

During a search, officers found a loaded pistol in his waistband hidden under his sweatshirt, which officers noted is capable of piercing a ballistic vest.

A bag of .73 grams of marijuana was found on the man; later jailers found what tested as methamphetamine during a strip search.

He was booked into the county jail at the Regional Justice Center in Kent for investigation of felon in possession of a firearm and of drug possession.

HUMMER THEFT ATTEMPT: A 41-year-old Bellevue man working on his Hummer at Sam’s Club on Grady Way March 31 was approached by an armed man who demanded that he turn over his keys or he’d kill him.

When the victim refused, the suspect grabbed his collar, pulled him around the Hummer and then pulled him to the ground. He continued to ask for the keys.

The victim escaped and ran toward Sam’s Club, yelling he didn’t have the keys. In response the suspect said, “We will see about that,” and fled through a nearby carwash parking lot.

The victim told officers someone, possibly this same suspect, tried to steal his vehicle a few days earlier.

The suspect is described as 35-40 years old, wearing a black jacket and light-colored blue jeans.

APARTMENT ARREST: No one was supposed to be inside an apartment on Bremerton Avenue Northeast outside of which a homicide occurred on March 26.

But someone reported the lights were on the night of March 30. Two women, including one who was driving a car in which the homicide suspect was spotted a few days before the homicide, came out of the apartment. The driver was released, as was the other woman, despite a state Department of Corrections felony warrant. She was nine months pregnant and the SCORE regional jail wouldn’t accept her.

Officers had to go inside the apartment to find a man who was still inside. He was hiding in a closet. He was booked on a corrections department felony warrant.
