Here are a few more incidents to add to the Christmas week crime blotter for the East Precinct:
- ‘Tranny bashed’ — A Seattle writer contacted us via Facebook about a December 23rd attack the victim is afraid to tell police about. SPD has no record of the incident:
hey just wanted to let you know that i got tranny bashed on boylston and pine last friday in front of hot mamas
shoved from behind and dislocated my left arm he screamed’ FUCKING TRANNIES as he shoved me
The victim tells CHS the assault happened at 11:30p that night. The writer won’t contact police because of outstanding warrants. “So please tell people to be careful there,” the victim said.
We reported on a fight at the same location on December 11th involving an assailant SPD described only as a transgender male wearing a diamond studded bikini top.
- She’s crafty — A man told police it wasn’t Santa he awoke to Christmas morning in his bedroom inside a 21st Ave residence. Who-ever the Grinch was, they made off with a booty including a couple of laptops. Here’s the SPD report on the incident:
- Short-staffed — This 19th Ave burglary is a house-sitter’s worse nightmare and reveals some interesting staffing issues that SPD faced over the holiday weekend:
In 1993 I lived in one of those apartments above what is now Dave’s Appliance on Pike & 14th. Our unit was broken into while we were asleep, and although we called the East Precinct, when we told them that we had already managed to scare away the thieves ourselves, they never even sent an officer over to investigate. I always wondered what was up with that.
