• Sunday night hold-up: Police investigated a reported armed robbery attempt Sunday night after a man showed up at Broadway’s Bait Shop saying a suspect had just pointed a pistol at him before fleeing the area.

• E Denny fall: A male in his 20s suffered a serious cut to his head but emerged relatively unscathed after reportedly falling down 15 to 20 stairs at a 700 block E Denny building early Monday morning just after midnight. According to Seattle Fire dispatches, the male victim slammed into a concrete planter during his fall, breaking the cement but his injuries appeared to be limited to a four-inch cut to his head.
• E Pike overdose: SPD’s deployment of overdose antidote to bike officers is credited with saving another life in an incident last Wednesday afternoon that took place in the alcove of an empty E Pike business just east of Broadway:
  Around 2:30 PM Wednesday, East Precinct bike officers Chris Myers and Drew Fowler were patrol near Broadway and East Pike Street when they spotted a 33-year-old man sprawled on the ground in a doorway. As officers Meyers and Fowler approached the man, they noticed he was foaming at the mouth and convulsing. The man’s eyes were wide open, but he was unresponsive to officers and did not appear to be breathing. A witness at the scene told police the man had taken a pill a short time earlier so Officer Myers, believing the man was suffering from an opioid overdose, administered a dose of Naloxone. Moments after receiving the drug, the 33-year-old immediately rolled over and regained consciousness. Seattle Fire Department medics arrived at the scene but the man declined further treatment and walked away under his own power.
  CHS reported here about SPD’s trial period for the deployment of nasal naloxone, a heroin overdose antidote that experts say could save many more lives if made more widely available.

• 12th Ave burglary: A business in the 1800 block of 12th Ave lost more than $700 in cash after a burglar broke in and got into a lock box. The burglary was reported on April 25th but it wasn’t clear when the break-in occurred — the wily thief also removed recording equipment so the building’s surveillance camera offered police no clues. The burglary follows a small rash of similar break-ins in the area in March.
• E Loretta squatters: Police were called to an E Loretta Place building on April 23rd to a report that squatters were breaking in, sleeping on a balcony of the building, and stealing packages from residents. The complainant told police the suspects had left urine and syringes behind but they were nowhere to be found when police arrived.

According to the police report, the suspect had stolen two beers from the Broadway venue and fled with security hot in pursuit. The suspect threw one of the beers, striking a security guard and was eventually able to elude his pursuers and flee the area.
