It was a violent weekend for other parts of the city but Capitol Hill’s 911 watch was relatively quiet. We did receive reports about two incidents, detailed below plus have some new SPD blotter reports to document. Have a tip? You can always e-mail us at [email protected] or text/call (206) 399-5959.

• @judsons sent in this picture and alerted us to a car vs. pedestrian accident Saturday afternoon on Pine near Bellevue:
  “Cops and ambulance run to scene at Bellevue & Pine as a pedestrian was hit by car. Not sure of other details, except victim looked like he was sitting up as ambulance arrived.”

•  UPDATE 6/22/10 850 AM: CHS heard from a friend of the man injured in this incident. According to the friend, the man suffered a fractured skull when his head hit the pavement after being struck by another man. “He was released from Harborview [Monday], and has some recovering to do. He was diffusing an argument between two other peple when he was punched. That lead to him falling and hitting his head on the pavement,” the friend wrote in an e-mail to CHS. The friend said the injured man was a Kurrent employee who was out having a smoke when the argument broke out. Original report: We also saw this picture posted to the CHS flickr pool of the response to an assault early Sunday morning outside Kurrent bar on Pine. Medic units responded to treat a person for minor injuries after the assault that occurred on the sidewalk near Rudy’s according to SPD radio reports. In addition to providing “equal time” so we’re not just reporting on assaults near the Maharaja and HG Lodge, this report allows us to tell you that the suspect in the near-closing time attack was tracked down by cops a few blocks away and taken into custody.
• From the police blotter, a new SPD report came in for a robbery that a man told police happened way back on June 4. The man didn’t contact police until last Wednesday to tell them his tale of three crack dealers who he says approached him earlier in the month near E Howell and Summit Ave around 4:45 AM to ask him if he wanted to buy cocaine. The man told police he told the drug dealers he didn’t “do that.” The man said he was then asked if he had any money. When he told the men he didn’t have any cash, the man said the dealers told him they were going to check and one threw him against the wall and then grabbed his wallet and a ring. The man said the thief stole $436 in cash and the his debit card. The man told police he had just been paid and that the cash was his rent money. The man said the attacker tossed his debit card and wallet to the ground when he wouldn’t give them his PIN number. According to the report, the man said he then screamed for police causing the three to run from the scene but the report does not state why the man did not contact police until nearly two weeks later.
• SPD took note of a suspicious burglary on Summit Ave earlier this month of two apparently unlucky victims. Two people living in the 600 block of Summit reported that somebody broke into their apartment as they took a day-trip earlier this month. The victims reported one Hewlett Packard laptop, one Mac-Book Pro, one Play-Station 2, several Play-Station games, and one blue duffel bag missing. One thing to note if you keep luggage and large bags in your residence. The thief apparently used the large blue bag to haul off the loot. We reviewed another recent burglary report from another neighborhood in which a large screen TV was left behind because the would-be thief could not fit it into the suitcases in the residence being robbed. In this case, the investigating police officer found that the victims in this break-in had also reported a burglary in November 2009. The take in that incident? A Mac laptop and an Xbox 360.
• Meanwhile, also on the burglary beat, two East Marion residents told police they decided to “take a drive by the water” and left their home just after midnight on the morning of Saturday, June 12. When they returned 30 minutes later, the two told police they found front door open and the home “ransacked with clothes all over the floor” and several undisclosed items missing.
