• Montlake school work site arrest: A man was taken into custody Friday morning after a brief standoff in a work trailer at the Montlake Elementary School construction site. Police were called to the area of 22nd and E Calhoun around 8:00 AM to a disturbance involving a recently fired worker armed with a small pocket knife who had entered a work trailer at the site, according to East Precinct radio updates. As others cleared out of the trailer, police were able to contact the man and he was reported in custody without incident. There were no reported injuries.
• Broadway bike cop drug stops: The East Precinct’s bike officers are running “narcotic activity stops” along Broadway, according to the department’s “significant incident reports.” In one report from last Friday, SPD says the stops “located four subjects engaging in narcotics use.” Two of the people stopped were “identified, cleared, and released” while another had an outstanding warrant and was arrested and transported to King County Jail. The fourth man was observed “holding a bag of suspected narcotics.” “He stated that the substance was ‘clear,’ and he was arrested,” SPD reports. “Clear” is typically slang for crystal methamphetamine. Officers found the man was also carrying fentanyl and more meth. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of drug charges.
• Safeway shoplifter threat: Police were called to the 22nd and Madison Safeway last Tuesday for an early morning incident involving a pair of repeat shoplifters who threatened a manager with “a taser/knife type of weapon” —
  At 0602 hours, an adult male and female were shoplifted items out of grocery store. As they were walking out with a basket full of unpaid for items ($200), the manager tried to grab the basket. The male suspect pulled it away and produced a taser/knife type of weapon and told the manager that if he didn’t back off, he would get assaulted. The manager backed away and the two suspects drove away in a white chevy pickup truck with rubbish in the back. The manager said these two suspects are frequent shoplifters and provided evidence.
  There were no reported injuries and no arrests.
