E. Union’s gourmet hot dog shop Po Dog was hit by a night-time burglary this week. Here’s what Po owner Laura Olsen told us about the early Wednesday morning crime:
Police found a guy walking down the street at 4am with our tv (from Po).
Luckily we have security cameras so other than a broken window and a missing tv and broken POS we are fine. No money was taken, just the tv, remote and a few Rainiers and a Coors Light
Today, SPD has released this report describing the capture of the TV thief. Sounds like a local who gets around Pike/Pine — E. Union, 10th Ave, East Pine. We think SPD screwed up the date of the initial contact with the suspect — according to Olsen, this happened on the 27th. But good to see they hauled in the big screen burglar in. No mention of what happened to those Rainiers, by the way.
On January 28th an East Precinct patrol officer saw a male subject walking on 10th Avenue with a large television. The officer stopped to investigate further. The subject told the officer that he found the television. Upon further inquiry, the subject’s story was found to be very vague. The officer identified and released the subject, completed a Found Property Report and placed the television into evidence.
Later that day officers were dispatched to a burglary in the same area. Upon examining video evidence at the scene, investigating officers determined that the subject stopped earlier with the TV was the same person in the video. Officers and detectives attempted to re-contact the suspect to no avail. Information about the incident was disseminated within the Department, and officers and detectives were told to be on the lookout for the suspect.
On January 29th at approximately 10:19 a.m. a patrol officer was driving in the 800 block of East Pine Street when he recognized the above listed burglary suspect walking on the sidewalk. The officer stopped the suspect, verified his identity and took him into custody. Burglary detectives interviewed the 37-year-old male suspect and he was subsequently booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Burglary.
Only fit for one thing, douche.
Maybe another, cleaning Unicorn Balls.
