The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

Two men, one described as paranoid and a meth user, argued and fought in a homeless camp Nov. 17 in a wooded area in the 10400 block Carr Road Southeast.

The 27-year-old man who reported the fight told officers he lives with a woman in a tent in the woods, which they share with another woman. When they returned to the tent, they found the 37-year-old man sleeping there.

The 37-year-old refused to leave and the two men got into a fight. The 27-year-old pulled out the blade of a multi-tool to defend himself and his friend. The man still wouldn’t leave, so the 27-year-old left to call police.

While he was gone, the other man left. It’s unknown whether he was injured, but nearby Valley Medical Center indicated it would notify police if a wounded man showed up.

The 27-year-old told officers that if they needed to contact him, he’s near the campsite most days.

The police report included addresses for all those involved.

Hands off

A 56-year-old woman wants a fellow tenant prosecuted for assault with a laundry basket after two argued Nov. 12 over their laundry.

The woman found the other tenant’s clothing were done washing in the laundry. She moved them to a dryer.

Their owner walked in, ready to put them in the dryer herself. She took issue with the other woman putting her hands on her clean clothes. She admitted to making contact with her basket but without any force.

The officer couldn’t determine that an assault occurred.

Smash and Grab

Clothing, camera equipment and personal identification were stolen from a Ford Focus at about 12:30 a.m. Nov. 22 while the occupants were inside a north Renton restaurant.

After eating, the three occupants discovered a shattered window and two backpacks were gone.

Nothing else was taken. The backpacks were sitting on the seats.

Talking about warrants

A 24-year-old SeaTac man Nov. 22 pulled out in front of a Renton Police officer but didn’t accelerate once on East Valley Road.

The officer could clearly see with his headlights that the driver was talking on his cell phone.

The officer pulled over the man and in doing a routine check, discovered he had two warrants. One was a $5,000 Sheriff’s Office warrant for failure to pay the appropriate fare.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail.
