Don’t come back
A man contacted police to have his ex-wife and her new boyfriend removed from his property Sept. 5. The ex-wife and boyfriend had come to the man’s house to collect a check and they had all gotten into an argument. The man said he had felt threatened, then that he felt challenged.
He wanted a trespass warning letter on file so that neither his ex-wife nor her boyfriend could return to his property. The ex-wife then wanted a similar letter forbidding her ex-husband from her property.
All parties are now forbidden from going to the other person’s house.
Kayak heist
Two 12-foot kayaks were reported stolen from the Inglewood Beach Club kayak rack. The person reporting the missing kayaks estimated their value at $800.
They did not find any remains of the wire locks used to lock the kayaks to the rack.
No well wishes
An anniversary card was stolen from a mailbox on the 21600 block of Southeast 28th Street between 6:55 and 7 p.m. Sept. 11.
The homeowner reported that two people, a white male in his 30’s with light hair and a female with dark hair driving a Kia were responsible.
Car prowl
A man on the 1400 block of 227th Avenue Southeast reported that someone had entered his car between 9:30 p.m. Sept. 9 and 10 a.m. Sept. 10 and taken an iPod. Nothing else seemed to be missing.
He suspected it was someone attending the Skyline High School football game, since many attending the game had parked on his street. He said there were other car prowls and a vehicle stolen from the neighborhood at the same time and he suspects they were related.
Car prowl
A woman on the 2500 block of Southeast 14th Place reported that someone had slipped into her unlocked car between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Sept. 10.
She said that her purse, worth about $40 and containing about $40 in cash, her checkbook, driver’s license and health cards were missing.
Police advised her to contact her bank, but were unable to obtain evidence from the vehicle.
Vandalism
Sometime between 9:30 and 10:15 a.m. Sept. 10 someone shot out the window of a man’s vehicle with a BB gun at Ebright Creek Park.
Know your
operating system
A man called to report that someone had attempted a phone scam at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 6. The caller said he was from Microsoft and had detected malware on his computer.
The man said he uses a Mac, so it was not possible.
He said the caller sounded to be male, Hispanic in his mid-30’s a spoke very good English.
Mysterious call, or just house parties
Police received a call at 6 p.m. Sept. 4 that someone in a white pick-up truck was driving up to a house on the 3700 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, and the caller feared the truck was going to loot the place.
When police arrived the caller was gone, but police found that the doors seemed to have been forced open and multiple windows were broken out from the inside.
Police attempted to contact the property owner, but could locate only a post office box in Issaquah.
Police note that the house is near a popular party spot for juveniles, and suspect that the location has been used for at least one drinking party.
Driving while revoked
At 1:48 a.m. Sept. 3, police noticed a car going 53 mph in a 30 mph zone on East Lake Sammamish Parkway. When police pulled the man over, they found his license had been revoked, and he had an outstanding warrant from the Issaquah Police Department. He was booked into the Issaquah Jail.
Poor arrangement
Police reported to a home after a male from India reported that his sister was being held against her will by her husband. He and his father had come to take her back to India.
When police arrived at the house, they talked with both the wife and husband. She said it was an arranged marriage and that there have been physical incidents in Oregon, California and Calcutta, India. However, there had been none in Washington. She also said the couple has an 11-month old child which has been a source of strife between her and her husband’s parents. She further said her husband and her parents have forced her to go to a psychiatrist.
She declined to fill out any paperwork.
The husband denied any physical incidents and said his wife has abused him mentally and threatens suicide when she doesn’t get her way.
Both parties said they felt safe, and the woman indicated she would probably go with her brother and father. Since all alleged incidents occurred out-of-state police simply documented the incident.
Burglary
Police responded to a home on the24500 block of Southeast 3rd Court on Sept. 10 to investigate a possible burglary. The homeowner said it had occured sometime between 11 p.m. Sept. 9 and 10 a.m. Sept. 10.
Upon arriving home, the woman parked her car in her driveway and locked the doors. She placed her purse on a stool in the kitchen. The next morning, it was gone. She contacted her bank to learn that her credit card was being used as she was on the phone with the bank. Someone had started racking up charges starting at about 8 a.m. totaling $901.98 before the card was cancelled.
There were no signs of forced entry, but the next morning, she found that the window had been rolled down about six inches.
She suspected someone could have entered the car, removed the garage door opener and accessed the home through the garage. But the door was down the previous night and the next morning, and no one reported hearing the garage door open.
Card fraud
A woman called police to report she had gotten a call from her bank’s fraud department when someone was trying to use her card to make a purchase at a store in Los Angeles Sept. 2. The account has been closed.
Open garage door leads to burglary
A man called police to report that several items were missing from his car on the 1000 block of 272nd Place Southeast. Sometime between 11 p.m. Sept. 3 and 8 a.m. Sept. 4, someone entered his open garage and removed two bags from his car. The bags contained items totaling $3,087 worth of goods including a laptop computer, Garmin and running paraphernalia.
He said that previously they’d had beer stolen from the garage when they left the door open, but attributed that to opportunistic juveniles.
The perils of tailgaiting
Police arrested three juvenile females at the Skyline High School Football game Sept. 2 for underage drinking.
Two of the girls were found urinating in the woods bushes when they were observed by police. Both denied having had anything to drink, but one was slurring her words so much police could not understand her.
Police separated the girls. One blew a .079 on a portable breathalyzer. The other was too drunk to be able to blow into it.
While this was happening, police were notified of a third girl who was reported to be too drunk to walk. Police approached her and observed her slurring her words and having a hard time staying up in her chair.
One girl threw up all over the back of a police car. Police decided to bring the girls in for booking. As an officer was bringing them to the Issaquah Jail, the officer had to pull over so a girl could throw up.
At the jail, the girls were given another breathalyzer test. The first girl again blew a 0.79. One of the others blew a .27 and the third blew a .23 which later came down to a .179. The legal limit for people 21 and over is .08.
The Issaquah jail said it would not admit one of the girls due to her drunken state and she was taken to Overlake.
Items in the Police Blotter come from Sammamish Police reports.
