to the Sterling Ridge Apartments in the 11300 block of SE Kent-Kangley Road regarding a 911 call of threats with a weapon,<\/a> according to a Kent Police news release.<\/p>\nA security guard had just located a stolen vehicle on the property and called when three suspects suddenly returned to the vehicle. They reportedly intended to enter the stolen car and take off. The guard, a 29-year-old Federal Way man, had told them no one was leaving in the vehicle because it was stolen, and he was waiting for the police to arrive.<\/p>\n
The suspects fled on foot with the guard in pursuit attempting to detain them, according to police. One suspect, an 18-year-old SeaTac man, did not want to be captured, and allegedly physically fought with the guard. The suspect then reportedly pushed a gun into the guard’s chest. The guard slapped the gun away forcing it to fall to the ground,. The suspect disengaged when disarmed and fled on foot.<\/p>\n
“He ran away so fast he came out his shoes, leaving them behind at the scene,” police said.<\/p>\n
The guard secured the gun and contacted the police who took custody of the 9mm which was later entered into evidence.<\/p>\n
During the police investigation, the guard saw the suspect who had snuck back onto the property. Kent officers immediately set a protective perimeter and called out an Auburn K-9 team to search.<\/p>\n
While the K-9 unit was tracking, a Kent officer deployed a drone and was able to give directive info to assist the ground patrol units and K-9 team. K-9 located the suspect on 116th Avenue SE, and he was taken into custody. He was later transported to the King County jail.<\/p>\n
Detectives continued the investigation and later filed a felony case for second-degree assault and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, after confirming the man was ineligible to possess a firearm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
