  • Rock throwing arrest: Seattle Police say they used “less lethal” munitions to end a 30-minute standoff with a man suffering a mental crisis and reported throwing rocks at a nearby building and officers early Tuesday morning near 14th and E Madison. According to the SPD brief on the incident and East Precinct radio reports, the man was reported to be “possibly nude” and throwing rocks at the Chloe on Madison apartment building around 1:15 AM. Arriving officers reported the man was threatening pedestrians with rocks and was also throwing rocks at windows of the building:

    When they contacted him he was hostile towards them. Officers remained at a distance, and he began throwing large rocks at officers who took cover behind a dumpster. The subject also struck two patrol vehicles with the rocks during the incident.

    SPD says officers formed a “contact team with riot shields as additional cover” and “eventually deployed a 40mm launcher when the subject refused to follow orders to drop the rocks.” The crowd control weapon “was effective,” SPD says, reporting the man started running before he was apprehended and booked into jail for assault and property damage including damage to a police vehicle at the scene. Seattle Fire was called to evaluate the man as he was taken into custody.

  • Broadway knife threat: Police were called early Monday to a report of a person with a gun threatening to shoot a man armed with a butcher knife in a disturbance on Broadway. According to the SPD brief, police arrived and took the victim into custody in the 2:30 AM incident while officers sorted out what happened. Police say the victim told officers they were walking home near Broadway and Denny when the suspect approached with a large butcher knife and started chasing them. “The victim produced a legally owned and carried firearm in self-defense and the suspect ran off,” SPD reports. There were no reports of shots fired. Police searched the area for the suspect armed with the knife but were not successful. There were no reported serious injuries.

    No arrests in Capitol Hill homicide cases: SPD continues to seek the public’s assistance in solving two recent murders involving Capitol Hill homeless men. Jonathan Caradonna, 32, died Saturday, March 19th after suffering multiple stab wounds in an assault near 13th Ave E. Brent Wood, 31, was found beaten to death on the pavement behind the Broadway Rite Aid early on the morning of Thursday, March 3rd. Anyone with information is asked to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.

  • First Hill driver vs. pole: A First Hill gas station had to be shut down Sunday morning after an argument between friends over a borrowed car ended with a collision that badly damaged a City Light utility pole. Power was knocked out in the area during the repairs. Police say the just before 4 AM wreck happened during “a disturbance” involving the victim’s vehicle:

    A friend claims to have been given permission to drive the victim’s vehicle and suddenly drove away from an argument at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was then involved in a single car collision to City Light power pole in the 900blk of James St. sheering the City Light pole and lowering the high-power lines. This collision also occurred approx. 20 feet from gas pumps/station. James Street was closed down to vehicle traffic both East and West bound between 9 Av/Boren Av. Traffic was redirected.

    SPD says the area was closed to traffic and the gas station shut down so crews could respond to repair the damaged pole. The pole was replaced, power lines secured, and traffic was reopened by noon Sunday, SPD says. There were no reported serious injuries.
