• E Galer burglar hunt: A search for a suspected burglar with a distinctive appearance came up empty Friday night following an attempted break-in at a home in the 1700 block of E Galer. Police were called to the home around 10:30p by a woman who heard someone pounding on her front door and inside her house downstairs. As police rushed to the scene, they found signs of a forced entry and saw a white or Hispanic male around 6-feet tall, 200 pounds and bald fleeing from the area via a nearby alley. Police and K9 units encircled the area and searched street by street for the man but were not successful.

• SCCC melee charges: The man arrested in the assault of a police officer at Seattle Central last week that sparked an internal investigation of possible improper contact with the handcuffed suspect faces charges of third degree assault. 23-year-old John Ross has been charged in the case for what police say was a drunken attack on a female officer trying to keep him from leaving the scene of an investigation.
• Pike/Pine purse snatcher nabbed: SPD posted about a September bust of a purse snatcher targeting women inside Capitol Hill clubs: 

Officers caught a purse snatcher at a Capitol Hill nightclub on 10th Avenue and E. Pike Street early Tuesday.

Shortly after 1 am, two women inside the club reported that a man wearing a black hat had stolen their purses. When Officers spotted the suspect near the club’s restrooms, he quickly ducked inside an occupied lavatory.

Officers followed the suspect inside, where they found him staring at himself in the mirror, next to a very confused woman who had been using the bathroom when the suspect barged in.

When officers took the suspect out of the bathroom and patted him down, a purse fell out of his waistband onto the ground. Moments later, a second purse fell out of his pants.

Officers then arrested the man, who told police he was having a “drunk stupid moment.”

We’ve asked SPD to identify the suspect for us so we can follow up and learn more about charges in the case.
