Two arrested

Renton police were dispatched at approximately 2:21 p.m. Sept. 1 to a threat with a weapon at an apartment complex in the 12200 block of Southeast Petrovitsky Road.

According to call notes, a man aimed a handgun at the reporting party prior to heading back into his apartment.

Officers contacted the reporting party, a 30-year-old man, who stated the suspect, a 34-year-old man, aimed a handgun at him and attempted to pistol whip him following an argument regarding the eviction of the suspect.

The reporting party knew the suspect through an acquaintance, according to the department. The reporting party also described an associated vehicle that officers saw leaving the complex as they interviewed her.

Officers stopped the vehicle, occupied by two suspects, and frisked both. One of the suspects attempted to reach for a firearm and accidentally dropped the gun on the ground. An officer retrieved the gun and the suspect that dropped the gun attempted to flee on foot, according to the department.

Officers detained and handcuffed him. They learned the suspect lied about his name as a result of prior convictions and an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

Officers declared the firearm, determined as stolen out of Seattle, as evidence and towed the suspects’ vehicle to the Renton Police Department’s evidence garage.

Police arrested the suspect that dropped the firearm on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree.

Through additional witness accounts, police determined that the second suspect aimed a gun at his roommate and developed probable cause to arrest him on two felony counts of assault in the first degree and domestic violence assault in the first degree. Police booked both suspects into the King County Jail.
