  Cops Crack Case After Capitol Hill Robber Reveals Cache of Stolen Cash
  Written by Detective Drew Fowler on February 3, 2015 10:47 am
  When police investigated a robbery outside a Capitol Hill gas station early Tuesday morning, they quickly found the suspect and retrieved his knife. Finding his stolen cash, however, proved more difficult— that is until the suspect helped officers crack the case.
  Police were called to a gas station at Broadway and East Pike Street for a robbery around 2:30 A.M. after the 42-year-old suspect pulled a knife on a man outside the business. Officers arrived, found the suspect, took him into custody, and recovered his knife from behind the gate of a closed business. However, when police patted the suspect down, they weren’t able to find the cash he’d stolen from his victim.
  After arresting the suspect and taking him back to the East Precinct, he volunteered that he had stashed the money in between his buttocks. The suspect retrieved his glute loot—two twenty dollar bills—which he handed over to police.
  Officers booked the man into the King County Jail for robbery and theft warrant.
  The knife was described as a “serrated” steak knife. The only injury reported was a small cut to the suspect’s hand.
• Shotgun disturbance: Police help diffuse a potentially scary situation in the 1500 block of 17th Ave late Monday night, January 26th.

The patient had become upset and was threatening to shoot people with a shotgun that had been move across the room and “out of reach,” police were told. Officers arrived and secured the weapon along with ammunition and a “mental health contact report was completed” so the suspect could be involuntarily committed, the report states.
• E Union body parts: A strong chemical smell and stench of decay brought a fire response and police to an E Union apartment building Monday afternoon. What they found inside prompted the first responders to call in the Medical Examiner. But CHS is told that the body parts found inside one of the building’s units turned out to only be rotten chicken. Capitol Hill apparently remains murder mystery-free for now.
