A Renton Technical College student fought off a man in the school parking lot, after he sexually assaulted her.
The student was putting books in her car when she felt someone grab her buttocks around 11 a.m. Oct. 6.
She turned around, and the man, described as 6-foot-2, 140 pounds with brown hair and bulgy eyes, made derogatory sexual remarks to her.
He then reached out and touched her breast.
She grabbed the man’s head and pulled it toward the ground. She tried to hit his face with her knee but missed and his face hit her thigh.
The suspect then tried to grab the front of her pants, but she punched him on the left side of his face, leaving a small cut.
She got in her vehicle and drove away.
The student didn’t initially report the incident, but an instructor heard about it the next day, and she was persuaded to report the incident.
Suspended license, marijuana
Police discovered a man had marijuana stored in his glove box, when they pulled him over for a suspended license Oct. 8.
The officer knew the driver’s license was suspended when he pulled him over on the 16700 block of 116th Avenue Southeast.
When the officer asked for proof of registration and insurance, the man opened the glove box and then quickly slammed it shut.
The officer saw a multi-colored marijuana pipe, which lead to the discovery of the marijuana.
Drunk sleeps, rages on bus
A drunken man refused to get off a Metro bus, after the driver attempted to wake him Oct. 8 at the Renton Transit Center.
Holding a bottle of liquor in a paper bag, he swore at the police, who asked him to leave the bus.
While struggling with police who arrested him, his face was scuffed up.
Police were eager to remove him from the area because of his “physically combative actions and loud swearing.”
