The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports:

As the 19-year-old was leaving the building, police commanded that he stop. Instead, he took off running southbound toward Third.

When the officer finally caught him, he held up a DVD with footage of the suspect stealing an Airsoft gun

“He then put his head down and said ‘Can I tell you something?’” according to the report. ‘My name isn’t (redacted). I lied to you.’”
