WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Attempted burglary

Jenny reports this happened at her home in Highland Park:

July 13 @ 1:00 AM we were woken up to a guy rattling our front door (our bedroom window is next to the front porch). The door was locked, however. He threw the door mat off the property and left a malt liquor can behind after throwing up on the porch and yelling in apparent frustration. We have video of his face and attempt to open the door, which I have attached here.

We don’t have the permanent # yet but the initial one is T00005609.

    Very scary and awful. Glad he didnt get in! I hope you called 911 to report as it was happening. Maybe with this great video of his face he can be found.

    My friend texted us (same neighborhood) that this man also attempted this at their home. Sent us video footage that showed him holding two knifes. He wasn’t there long after seeing the door was locked, but did stomp on a sweatshirt they had on the porch. They called police and police came, told them he had tried multiple houses on the block. He has been arrested! Very scary.

    Maybe he should switch to bud light.

    I saw the same guy stumbling up our block around this time, near 16th and Cloverdale. He was looking into cars and yelling random nonsense. I flipped on our porch light, and that seemed to scare him off.
