- : Police were called to the area of 10th and E Blaine just before 9a Friday morning after a report of an apparently highly intoxicated burglar. We haven’t confirmed details of the search with SPD but according to police radio, officers were dispatched to the area to look for the impaired garage burglar in the area around Lake View Cemetery and the St. Mark’s greenbelt.
Do you have any idea what was going on at 4am on 12th between Denny and Howell? There were two WSP vehicles with another car pulled over, and the officer was instructing (over his mind-bogglingly loud P.A. system) the driver & passengers to put their hands in the air, and then one by one had them get out of the car with their hands raised, raise their shirts to show they had no weapons, and walk backwards towards the officers to be taken into custody. A Seattle PD car showed up about half-way through. I believe they all got arrested and then the car was searched. It was weird that it was the State Patrol up in the middle of the Hill.
I will look into it—thanks for the tip!
17th ave e & ?? yikes
Just speculating, but a lot of times officers do that when the plates come back stolen. If it came back stolen in another jurisdiction that could have been why the State police were involved.
It happened on the 200 block of 17 ave e
