• Deadly overdose: A flurry of Seattle overdose emergencies Tuesday including a deadly OD in a First Hill apartment. Around 11 PM, Seattle Fire was called to a unit of the Stockbridge Apartment building on Boren Ave around to a reported overdose involving three people suffering opioid overdoses. Seattle Fire reports its crews attempted lifesaving efforts for a 31-year-old man but were unsuccessful. The victim was declared dead at the scene. Lifesaving efforts on a 31-year-old man continued and was transported to Harborview in critical condition. Seattle Fire says a 33-year-old woman was also treated and taken to Harborview in stable condition. SFD typically responds to overdose calls every day but Tuesday’s spike was unusual with six separate incidents across the city including another around 11:30 PM Tuesday in front of the Harvard Market QFC. Grocery store security reportedly administered Naloxone to reverse the overdose and were performing CPR until Seattle Fire arrived to treat and transport the victim. The Seattle Police Department is investigating the Boren Ave apartment death. Drug testing strips are available for sale online and for free from area community groups.

• World School threat arrest: A 60-year-old are resident was arrested Tuesday after a set of bizarre interactions around the World School campus on E Union. SPD says the suspect assaulted a school security guard and pointed a gun at a teen during the strange series of events. According to SPD’s report on the incident, police were called to the 17th and Union school just before 1 PM as the neighbor tried to enter the campus “The suspect was walking his two dogs when he approached the school and forcefully pushed past the security guard to speak with the principal,” SPD reports. Police say the apparently intoxicated suspect then walked to 16th and Pike and approached two teens sitting in a car. “The suspect, armed with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, began yelling at the teens, telling them they can’t park on the street,” SPD says. “During the interaction, the suspect reached into the car, grabbed a 15-year-old by the neck while wielding the knife. He also pointed a gun at the teen.” SPD says officers recovered video evidence showing the suspect pushing his way into the school, and a photo of him holding the knife in his hand. Officers tracked the suspect to his nearby home where he claimed to have no firearms. After securing a search warrant, police say they found two guns inside the home. The man was arrested and booked into jail for investigation of burglary and felony harassment. Animal control was called to secure the dogs and take them to a shelter.

• Harvard Market QFC fentanyl arrest: It won’t be the only arrest for smoking fentanyl in front of a Capitol Hill QFC this month but it hopefully will be only case involving a wanted felon found to be illegally carrying a handgun. SPD says it made the bust of the 27-year-old early Tuesday morning outside the QFC at Broadway and Pike. According to police, patrol officers saw a man smoking “narcotics with a pipe” in front of the grocery store and arrested the suspect without incident:
  While interviewing him, police recovered a loaded gun. When they asked him where he got the gun, he told them he “found it.” The suspect, recently released from prison, has previous convictions for multiple felonies including unlawful possession of firearms, theft of a motor vehicle, eluding, and unlawful possession of a motor vehicle. He is prohibited from carrying firearms.
  Police say the suspect was wanted on a $4,000 arrest warrant for fighting in public, issued by the Centralia Municipal Court. Officers booked the suspect into the King County Jail for narcotics possession and unlawful possession of a firearm. There were no reported injuries.

• Chuck’s protest: Seattle Police’s Outreach Engagement Team responded to the Chuck’s Central District beer shop last Wednesday night after a protest targeted the Falafel Salam food truck in the E Union store’s lot:
  At 1630 hours, about 8 pro-Palestine individuals arrived at Chuck’s Hop Shop near 20 Ave/E Union St while the business was open. The protestors entered the business to verbally confront the owner. The owner demanded they leave but they initially refused, and he called 911. Officers and 242 (POET1) responded and spoke to a protestor liaison and the business owner. By the time officers arrived, all parties we separated, and the protestors were on the sidewalk engaged in verbal chants. POET established ground rules of no trespassing, property damage or assaults and the group agreed. POET met with the owner and explained SPD and POETs response. Continue reading →
