• Urban League targeted: Police say a woman implying she was armed with a handgun forced a janitor to take her to the 14th Ave and Yesler office of the Urban League in what police say was an attempted robbery. “The janitor escorted the suspect up to the 2nd floor and saw that employees were still working in the business and managed the convince the suspect that he didn’t have access to the rooms they wanted in,” SPD reports. Police say the suspect fled on foot but could not be located after a police K9 search. There were no reported injuries and no arrests.
• 17th Ave apartment standoff: Police were able to take the suspect into custody after a barricade situation Monday at a Seattle Housing Authority building near 17th and Madison. Police were called to the 17th Ave building around 1 PM Monday to a report of a man threatening apartment staff:
  Officers arrived and spoke to staff and established probable cause to arrest the suspect who lived on an upper floor of the apartment complex. Officers were able to contact the suspect in the hallway outside their apartment. When they attempted to make the arrest the suspect became combative and a taser was deployed. The Taser was not effective and the suspect was able to get inside their apartment and became barricaded.
  “Officers continued to communicate with the suspect while backup officers arrived,” SPD reports. Police say the suspect exited the apartment along with another occupant and both “were refusing all verbal commands but moved far enough away from the apartment door that a second team of officers were able to approach them from behind.” Both subjects were taken into custody without further incident. There were no significant injuries reported.
