The following information was compiled based on City of Renton police reports.
Police responded to the threat of an assault involving a handgun and Nelsen Middle School students on Oct. 5.
Apparently, one juvenile challenged another to a fight after school, but he refused.
The aggressor challenged the other teen again while on school property at the end of the day.
A little after 3 p.m., there were reports of adults yelling at some juveniles adjacent to the school, but police were unable to locate anyone.
The student who was being challenged was picked up from school by his mother and they went looking for the other student.
When they met up with him, words were exchanged and the student reached to the small of his back and grasped what they thought was a handgun.
On Oct. 6, police and the principal of the school made an attempt to meet with the boy’s mother at school and she refused.
Disorderly at hospital
A disorderly patient at Valley Medical Center tried to enter the maternity ward on Oct. 3.
A patient being treated at the center, 400 S. 43rd St., became combative with medical staff and security just after 7:30 p.m.
The patient, a 47-year-old woman, was heard yelling and swearing at emergency room staff, then she removed an “IV” from her arm and threw the needle to the ground.
Because of her behavior, security attempted to escort her out of the hospital and she began to call the officer names. Instead of leaving, she attempted to enter the maternity ward on the second floor.
Even though she was told not to enter the ward, she kept trying to open the doors.
Security escorted her to the ground, according to the report, and placed her in handcuffs.
Argument over eight-week-old
A Renton couple got into an argument involving their eight-week-old baby on Oct. 2.
The incident occurred at a residence on Monroe Avenue Northeast at about 10:30 a.m.
The couple was sitting on the edge of their bed discussing child-care issues, while the wife was feeding their daughter.
The husband became angry with his wife and threw the eight-week-old onto the bed. Then he walked around the bed shouting and threw his shoulder into his wife’s shoulder.
She called the police.
She told police that this wasn’t the first time that she had been abused by her husband and relayed previous incidents.
The man denied assaulting her and said that he was being “psychologically abused” by his wife.
The wife was transported to the hospital for check-up as a precaution and the husband was arrested for investigation of fourthdegree domestic violence assault.
Police could not determine that he intentionally assaulted his infant daughter.
Dispute over messy property
A tenant and landlord got into a dispute over a messy property on Oct. 3.
The tenant of a residence on Park Avenue North called police around noon to report a dispute with her landlord.
She moved into the residence in August and said that it became clear that it was infested with rodents and insects. She also said her landlord’s behavior was odd. According to her, he would drive by the property on a regular basis and stand on the property unannounced.
Police contacted the landlord and he denied showing up at the property unannounced. He said he placed a For Sale sign on the property, which the resident took down. He emailed a picture of himself to her putting it back up.
Both the tenant and the landlord agreed they would probably be in court settling issues over the rent.
