April 4

Malicious mischief: 2:08 a.m., 24100 block of 7th Pl. W. Police were called to a home in Bothell where a 36-year-old man was reportedly driving his vehicle across a neighbor’s front yard, through a fence and shrubbery. The man was reported to be a felon but was in possession of a firearm and suicidal. Upon contact, police saw the vehicle “high centered” in some bushes and tire tracks in the neighbor’s front yard. A six-foot high fence separating the two homes was destroyed, and the backyards were torn up as well. The vehicle had one rear window broken and damage to the windshield. The suspect was not immediately located, but his mother told police he was suicidal, and she took a semi-automatic rifle away from the man after he fired it at a tree and five or six more shots into the air. Police called in a K9 search team to look for the suspect but were unable to locate him. Police returned the next day to find the suspect and placed him under arrest. They also found cocaine residue in the man’s wallet. Upon another search of property, officers found six bullet holes in the ceiling of the man’s bedroom.
