From reports on cases handled recently by Southwest Precinct officers:
*Around 3 pm Monday, a rude patron kept bothering other customers at a Junction bar and was asked to leave. He declined, threw a glass, and then launched a chair through a $2,000 flat-screen TV. He was taken to the ground, held for officers and was later booked into King County Jail for investigation of aggravated assault.
The files were a little threadbare (up until the past few days, too late for this roundup), so just three more summaries are ahead:
*After leaving a North Admiral bar Friday afternoon of last week, a man received severe facial fractures from a stranger who attacked him. Apparently not wanting to be left out of the mayhem, bystanders hanging out in front of another bar jumped into the fray. The victim requires surgery. The suspects remain at large.
*Just before midnight on Sunday, an intoxicated 37-year-old Beach Drive resident was hanging out at Alki, causing a disturbance in a bar and arguing with his girlfriend. After leaving, he started revving his motorcycle engine in the street, so loudly that a 74-year-old man came out of his home and asked him to quit making so much noise, as people were trying to sleep. The suspect cursed the older man, then lunged and knocked him to the ground. Officers had to support the shaken victim, who was examined by medics. The suspect denied hitting anyone and was booked into King County Jail for investigation of assault.
*Last Sunday around 5 p.m., after an officer made an announcement on a public-address system, a child lost at Alki was reunited with her mother. The mom admitted that she had a record with Child Protective Services and that children had been removed from her home in the past. Officers returned the child to her, but explained that because of her extensive history, a report of the incident would be forwarded to CPS.
