Kent Police arrested a man for investigation of resisting arrest and trespassing after he reportedly crawled into bed with a woman he didn’t know at her apartment before the woman fled the room unharmed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man later tried to fight off a police dog in the same bed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Officers initially responded to a potential burglary call with the suspect still inside at about 4:31 a.m. on Sept. 5 at an apartment in the 12200 block of Southeast 233rd Street, according to the police report.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kent officers showed up at the apartment with assistance from the Tukwila Police K-9 unit. Officers released the dog inside the apartment as a preliminary search after nobody responded to verbal commands to exit the apartment. Police then heard a man scream at the dog.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When officers went inside, they saw the man standing on a bed and grabbing at the dog. The man refused orders to stop grabbing at the dog. Police pulled the man down and rolled him onto his stomach so they could place him in handcuffs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The woman who called 911 said she was asleep in her apartment and the man must have entered through an unlocked door. She woke up to find herself next to a man she didn’t know. She said the man didn’t assault or harm her. When the man got up to use the restroom, she fled the apartment and called 911.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man told police he thought his girlfriend lived at the apartment, but the woman said she had never heard of a woman by the name referred to by the man. Both the woman and officers said they could smell intoxicants coming from the man.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When an officer asked the man if he had been near the 7-Eleven store and why somebody would call 911 about him, he replied probably because he had been using drugs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When asked if he had any drugs on him, the man said he had used heroin and still had a bit of heroin in a plastic container in his pocket. The man also had a hypodermic needle in his backpack. He told police he sometimes used heroin and meth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Man punches store clerk<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he allegedly punched a clerk in the face at about noon on Sept. 6 at a store in the 24000 block of 104th Avenue Southeast.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n A clerk told officers the man stole a lighter and hit him in the face before fleeing on foot, according to the police report. Officers noted the clerk had a red mark on his forehead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Officers spotted the man matching the description given by the clerk inside a nearby Value Village store. The man told police he had been in the 7-Eleven store and the clerk was really rude. When an officer asked him if he had anything else to say about the incident, the man replied, “No, take me to jail.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Cousin clocks cousin<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Officers arrested a woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she reportedly punched her female cousin in the face during a dispute at about 1:33 a.m. on Sept. 5 at an apartment in the 2500 block of South 252nd Street.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The 911 call came in as a fight among women, according to the police report.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The woman who threw the punch said the dispute started when she asked her cousin to borrow money for gas and her cousin refused to give her any money. She said they argued and her cousin hit her in the face. The woman said she had come from Seattle to visit her cousin in Kent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n But a witness backed up the other cousin’s statement that the dispute was about the woman smoking crack in the bathroom. When the cousin confronted her about the drug use, an argument started and punches were thrown.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Man steals jeans from thrift store<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Police arrested a man for investigation of third-degree theft and possession of drug paraphernalia after he allegedly tried to steal a pair of blue jeans at about 6:45 p.m. on Sept. 5 from the Goodwill store, 23313 Pacific Highway S.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n A loss prevention officer at the store reported that the man had worn blue jeans into the store, took three pairs of jeans to a dressing room, and then came out wearing a black pair of jeans, according to the police report. The man put back three pairs of jeans, including the pair he wore into the store, and exited the store without paying for the jeans.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The store employee had the man put his original jeans back on before police arrived.
