Kent Police found out that a reported robbery didn’t turn out to be as it first appeared.<\/p>\n

Detectives took several extra days to determine what happened during a dispute between two men at about 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 15 in the 24000 block of Pacific Highway South<\/a> on the West Hill. One man had a gunshot wound and the other man a cut on his hand.<\/p>\n

A 22-year-old man called 911 to report that he was a robbery victim, said Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson in an email.<\/p>\n

“Investigators have since debunked his account and he was in turn placed under arrest,” Robinson said.<\/p>\n

Police arrested the man Tuesday for investigation of first-degree robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm and for possession of a stolen firearm, Robinson said. The man reportedly robbed a 17-year-old Federal Way man.<\/p>\n

“The suspect robbed the victim at gunpoint for the victim’s phone,” Robinson said. “The victim actually grabbed the gun wherein a confrontation ensued, during which the victim had control of the gun and fired one round which went through the suspect’s hand and his leg.”<\/p>\n

The teen sustained a cut on the hand from the altercation over the gun.<\/p>\n

“This was a random incident, and the victim was not known to the suspect,” Robinson said.<\/p>\n

The man arrested is a transient with his last known address in Federal Way, Robinson said. He is expected to be charged later this week by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
