DISTURBANCE

On Sept. 4, a caller reported he had seen a woman hanging out of a car yelling for help. An officer spotted a vehicle similar to the one described on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast and initiated a stop. He noticed the woman in the car had streaked makeup as if she had been crying; she told the officer she and the driver were having an argument and she briefly considered leaving the car before changing her mind. Both the driver and the woman said there had been no physical altercation, and both denied she had hung out of the window or shouted for help. The officer left them a pamphlet on the Domestic Violence Prevention Act and released them at the scene.

PROTECTION ORDER

On Sept. 7, police were checking on a treehouse near 229th Place Southeast due to neighbor concerns about drinking and drug use inside.

NO PERMIT
