A Sammamish man’s plan for fun in the snow went awry Jan. 19 when his truck got stuck in the park of a homeowner’s association near the 2300 block of Northeast 19th Drive.

In his attempt to do donuts, the vehicle got stuck in the deep snow, forcing the man to temporarily abandon his vehicle.

When an officer arrived he noticed a 45-foot track estimated to 6-to 8-inches deep. The driver, who was off looking for help, reappeared just as the police were investigating. He didn’t have a driver’s license, but pulled out registration showing the vehicle belonged to his father.

The man agreed to pay all restitution for damage done to the field.

Rocky situation

A Sammamish resident awoke to find an unpleasant surprise in the back of their vehicle the morning of Jan. 26.

The car, parked on the 2800 block of 234th Place Northeast, had its rear window shattered. When the owner looked inside, he found a purple painted triangular rock with glitter, a smirking smiley face and press-on googly eyes.

Teen speeder nabbed

An officer looking for speeders on the 1700 block of Beaver Lake Drive Southeast, Jan. 25, caught a big offender. On the dark and rainy night, he spotted a vehicle reaching speeds estimated near 80 mph in a 35 mph zone.

When he finally caught the driver, the officer opted to call the teen’s mother, who showed up on the scene. It was agreed upon by both parties that if the boy, a high school honor student, retook the driver’s education class and paid for it himself, there would be no citation issued. If he fails to do so, charges would be filed within a year.

Guns stolen

A new Sammamish resident was greeted with a rude surprise Jan. 23.

The home owner on the 1000 block of 227th Avenue Northeast, who had just moved to the area at the end of December, had two guns stolen from his bedroom closet.

The thieves removed a Bushmaster assault rifle with a 20-round clip and a Marlin 22M magnum rifle. There were no signs of forced entry, but the garage doors were left unsecured.
