The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:

Suicidal man threatens hotel staff: At 10:49 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 33000 block of Pacific Highway S., a man showed signs of drug use, as his jaw was tight when he spoke, his pupils were dilated, he had no saliva and he babbled. He was also argumentative and threatened hotel employees. After police removed him from the property, he called 911 and stated he was going to kill himself by running into traffic. Police located him on a sidewalk about to step onto the road.

Man claims girlfriend struck him: At an unknown time on Nov. 16 in the 29000 block of 18th Ave. S., a man called 911 to report a physical domestic dispute between him and his girlfriend. The male had left Federal Way before calling the police and requested phone contact. He reported to police that he and his girlfriend were in a verbal altercation and she was drunk. He said she struck him in the face, causing swelling. He refused to come to Federal Way to meet officers to provide a written statement of the incident or allow examination or photographs of the alleged injury. Police provided information regarding a court order.

Ex-boyfriend breaks into woman’s house: At 6:55 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 1400 block of SW 306th St., a 36-year-old woman called police to report her ex-boyfriend broke into her home. She said she was at home when she heard the man pounding on the front door. He then went through the garage and she heard a loud crash; he had kicked in the door. She said he appeared to be high on cocaine and was very angry. Thinking he would do something “crazy,” such as light the house on fire, she called 911. But the man had said he wanted to talk to her — she had broken up with him two weeks prior. Refusing, the two ran around the kitchen island counter but the man left once he realized she was on the phone with 911 dispatch. The man has served seven years in prison for gun charges and the victim said she believes he’s dangerous.

Three dogs kill two chickens: At 7 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 2600 block of S. 284th St., a 28-year-old woman reported that her neighbor’s three dogs had broken into her chicken coop and were eating her chickens. As police arrived, they noted her children were frantic. Three German Shepherd-type dogs were pacing back and forth in front of the coop. The officer whistled at the dogs, who came running over in a friendly manner, but would not get into the vehicle. The woman said the same thing happened a week ago. The officer retrieved a dog catch pole and went to the coop and saw two chicken carcasses and 13 live ones.

The dog’s owner said they had escaped from their kennel door after he fed them and had already spoken to his neighbor, offering to pay for the two chickens. Additionally, he told the officer he didn’t want the dogs anymore and offered to surrender them to Federal Way Animal Services. After rounding up the dogs, the officer spoke to the victim who agreed to press charges. She was also informed she could only have four chickens and would need to get rid of some to be compliant with municipal code.

Student hides marijuana in underwear: At 10:04 a.m. on Nov. 16 at Todd Beamer High School, a school resource officer stopped a student because he reeked of marijuana. The student at first denied having marijuana, but when other students also complained and said he smelled, he eventually reached into his groin area of his underwear and produced a ball of marijuana wrapped in bathroom hand towels.

Kids caught having sex: At 11:19 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 3200 block of Military Road S., police contacted two juveniles who were having consensual intercourse in a parked vehicle. The male was transported home due to his age and police notified his mother.

Suspicious bicyclist jiggles door handles: At 12:08 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 30000 block of Eighth Ave. SW, a passerby called 911 to report a suspicious male on a bicycle who was jiggling door handles on Eighth Avenue Southwest. He was only described as a white male in his 30s and was last seen south on Eighth Avenue Southwest. The woman refused to give her name and address, asking to be anonymous. She also did not want to be contacted with results. Officers conducted an extensive area search for the male and were unable to locate him. No other neighbors flagged officers down for the same person.

Patient threatens hospital chaplain: At 1:02 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 34000 block of Ninth Ave. S., a woman reported she was threatened while on duty at St. Francis Hospital where she works as a chaplain. She stated that a patient made vague threats of bodily harm to her while in the hospital chapel and in his hospital room. She said he told her that he was “psychotic” and that he was “a danger to her.” She said the man also told her he would find her and hurt her by unknown means. She said hospital security staff advised her to make a police report for documentation purposes.

Aggressive panhandler: At 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 4600 block of SW 320th St., a 7-Eleven employee called 911 to report a male who had been on location for the last four hours. The male was loitering in front of the store and asking customers for money. The employee requested the male be trespassed.

The male was described as African American, 24-25 years old, medium build, goatee and wearing a blue hoodie and black pants. The male left the area prior to police arrival. Employees believe the male resides somewhere near a park at the Dash Point Apartments. The employee does not know the male’s name or address. He was advised to call 911 sooner in the future so the male could be trespassed. Officers conducted an extensive area check for the male and could not locate him.

Student touches girl at library: At 2:39 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 26800 block of Pacific Highway S., the Thomas Jefferson High School principal contacted police after reading a Facebook post that an 18-year-old male student had made comments about sexually touching a 14-year-old girl at the Woodmont Library in Des Moines over the summer. The suspect denied having done that and suggested somebody must have hacked into his Facebook account. Police contacted the victim at her school in Kent and she confirmed the allegations. Police forwarded the case to the Des Moines Police Department.

Agitated man urinates on street, scares customers: At 3:58 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 34000 block of Pacific Highway S., a man appeared to be under the influence of an unknown drug. His pupils were dilated and his speech was slurred and sporadic. He was wearing sandals in the wet 40-degree weather and had cuts and sores on his feet. He appeared to be very agitated and it was clear that he could not care for himself. Police received a report of the man looking into vehicle windows and urinating on the street. They also received a report of the man in the deli talking to customers and they were walking away.

Brick breaks window, hits woman: At 7:50 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 100 block of SW Campus Drive, a woman called 911 to report that someone had thrown a rock through her window. An investigation revealed a broken window at the apartment and a piece of a concrete brick wrapped in a piece of paper inside her home, which the victim reported had struck her after breaking the window.

The victim said she did not have anyone specific in mind as a suspect, but that she and her previous roommates had separated on bad terms. She did not report any substantial injuries, nor did she see anyone. Police took photographs of the brick and could not find any leads.

Suspicious couple arrested on warrants: At an unknown time on Nov. 15 in the 2100 block of S. 320th St., police were called to Denny’s for a suspicious couple who were in the bathroom for over an hour. Police contacted the male and police found he has two warrants from Federal Way for theft and possession of paraphernalia. Police arrested the male and booked him into SCORE jail.

Woman arrested on warrant: At 7:27 a.m. on Nov. 14 in the 2400 block of SW 336th St., a 26-year-old woman was arrested on a warrant after a woman reported lewd conduct at Jack in the Box. The woman initially reported a man had undressed in the restaurant’s lobby and then went into the women’s restroom. There were clothes laying all over the restroom floor and the woman thought the suspect was high. The woman came out of the restroom fully clothed to speak with officers and they recognized her from a previous incident. She was trespassed and arrested on the theft warrant from Bellevue.
