WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Early-morning arrests at Seacrest

Thanks to Dave for the tip, after he saw police arresting people in the Seacrest parking lot around 6 am this morning and asked if we knew what that was about. The initial call was labeled “threats” and dispatch audio said people in a car were harassing would-be customers. Now police have released a summary with more to the story, saying it started with a 911 call around 5:20 am from someone reporting they’d been threatened by someone on Harbor Avenue “in an older white Mercedes sedan” and reporting someone else involved was “armed with a black handgun with an extended, translucent magazine.” Officers couldn’t initially find the car where it was first reported but then located it in the Seacrest lot, with four people nearby. They detained al four and eventually arrested two, described as one male suspect and one female suspect. Police got a search warrant for the car and found a stolen handgun inside matching the previous description. The police summary says the male suspect was booked into jail for investigation of felony assault, use of a firearm by a minor, and felony possession of a stolen firearm. Police say the female suspect faces a charge of misdemeanor assault but first was taken to a hospital for a lip laceration, “an injury she sustained while fighting with the female victim prior to police arrival.” No further information but we’ll be following up.
