11:56 PM: Police arrested a woman found inside a West Seattle Junction business to which they responded tonight when a possible burglary was reported. According to police radio, 911 got a call that someone was seen on live video inside Top Pot Doughnuts around 10 pm, five hours after closing time. Officers told dispatch they found a 21-year-old woman inside the store who had apparently fallen asleep in a restroom while the shop was still open. Whether any evidence of a burglary was actually found is unclear, but they arrested the woman after finding she was the subject of two misdemeanor warrants from Tukwila, and took her to the SCORE jail in Des Moines. We’ll follow up with SPD in the morning.

ADDED 11:34 AM: Here’s the narrative we obtained from SPD:

At approximately 2217 hours, I was dispatched to Top Pot Donuts located at 4709 California Av Sw for a burglary that was being reported by their alarm company. Initial remarks on the call stated “BURG ALARM, FRONT DOOR MOTION/REGISTER MOTION, XXXX TRIP/2203, UNK MALE SEEN ON CAMERA STANDING BY THE REGISTER, UNK WEAPONS.’

At approximately 2225 hours, I arrived in the area with Officers XXXX (3-William-12), XXXX and XXXX (3-William-31), XXXX and XXXX (3-Frank-2). A female, identified herself as XXXX, was found to be locked inside the business and was unable to exit.

The business owner, XXXX XXXX, arrived at the location and was able to unlock the main entrance to allow Officers inside. I contacted XXXX and advised that Officers were audio/video recording prior to her explaining the following.

(She) was unaware of the current time but stated she had arrived at the location and was able to walk in through the front door. Once inside, she entered the single-use bathroom, where she proceeded to use the toilet and then washed her hair in the sink. (She) estimates that she was inside of the bathroom for about an hour.

When (she) exited the bathroom, she was unable to leave the premise because all of the doors, including the front door that she had entered, was locked. (Her) cellphone was dead but she located a landline that she used to call security. Security arrived at the location with Officers and confirmed that they had received a phone call from the business.

(she) stated she only walked around the premise to look for a way to exit, and did not take any items. (she) eventually admitted to eating a donut off of a speed tray and drinking some bottled juice. When asked about the merchandise on her person, she also admitted to taking them. Two beanies and a reusable bag were returned to the owner, who stated he wanted her to be trespassed from the location.

Officer XXXX spoke with the owner, XXXX, who confirmed that the business had closed hours prior at 1700 hours. The business is generally closed at 1700 hours with employees usually leaving at 1830 hours. XXXX stated that it was possible that (the woman) had entered the premise during business hours and that employees had not checked the bathroom prior to locking the doors. XXXX also stated that (she) may have entered at 2030 hours when the delivery man entered to drop donuts.

While locating (her) DOL information, a valid misdemeanor warrant for theft 3 was located out of Tukwila . The warrant was issued 04/26/2024 for $1,000.

Officer XXXX verified the warrant with Data. (she) was taken into custody and advised that she was under arrest for the warrant. I searched (her) incident to arrest at the hood of Officer XXXX’s patrol vehicle. Officer XXXX read her Miranda. Officer XXXX transported (her) from the scene to SCORE jail where she was booked without incident.
