Man throws fistfuls of rocks at Kent officer | Police Blotter

Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of assault after he reportedly threw fistfuls of rocks at an officer and waved knives high in the air before climbing out of a house window covered in shaving cream.

Officers surrounded the home in the 26200 block of 116th Avenue Southeast at about 6:37 p.m. on April 14, according to the police report. After taken into custody, the man told officers he had bi-polar disorder and had been smoking weed and using speed.

The incident started as a domestic dispute between a man and a woman. Officers responded and saw the man and woman – who were roommates – yelling at each other outside the home. Police eventually had the woman go inside a RV parked on the property.

The man picked up fistfuls of rocks and threatened to throw them at police. When he refused to put the rocks down, an officer pulled out a Taser and ordered the man to drop the rocks. But the man threw the rocks at the officer, missing him by about 12 inches. The man then went inside the home and closed the door.

A short while later, the man appeared in a laundry room window waving a kitchen knife in each hand. Officers called for additional units to surround the house.

After speaking with a police negotiator, the man climbed out of a window and officers arrested him.

The woman told police the man had just moved into the home, which she shares with her daughter and ex-husband, about a week previous. She said the man seemed mentally unstable and would show her his private parts. She wanted him to move out of the house.
