A Kent woman allegedly head-butted her husband in the face after he told her he wanted a divorce because he said she had cheated on him with several men.
Kent Police arrested the woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault in connection with the dispute at about 3:53 a.m. Jan. 2 at a home in the 9400 block of South 240th Street, according to the police report.
The husband told officers he and his wife had been drinking at a party and started to argue when they returned home. He said his wife became angry with his comments about her seeing other men and head-butted him in the mouth. She then continued to scratch and hit him until he held her down on a bed.
The wife told police she was upset because her husband had sent a text message to another woman. She said he put his fists up as if to fight so she head-butted him.
A witness saw the woman head butt her husband during the dispute.
Malicious mischief
Officers arrested a man for investigation of malicious mischief and disorderly conduct after he reportedly broke a front window with his fists on Jan. 2 at Nashville’s Sports Bar and Grill, 114 Railroad Ave. N.
When an officer arrived at the bar, the man ran toward the police vehicle, which caused the officer to pull out her Taser and order the man to stop, which he did, according to the police report.
The man reportedly came into the bar, bought a drink and bought drinks for a couple of other customers. One customer told the man not to buy a drink for his son who has disabilities. That apparently upset the man who had bought the drinks and he started yelling, which caused the bartender to ask the man to leave.
After the man walked outside, he started to pound his fists on the bar’s front window, causing it to break. He cut his right hand. Damage to the window was estimated at $400.
The man declined to talk to police about the incident. He also refused to let officers search him as he stiffened up the muscles in his arms and twisted and turned so they couldn’t reach into his pockets, according to the report.
Because officers feared for their safety, three of them took the man to the ground. Police then handcuffed the man and transported him to the city jail.
Obstructing
Police shot a man with a Taser and arrested him for investigation of obstructing an officer, illegal camping and possession of drug paraphernalia after spotting the man in the 200 block of Naden Avenue South.
Officers receive frequent homeless camp complaints near the Naden RV Park and saw a camp while on patrol at about 5 p.m. on Jan. 2, according to the police report.
A man in front of the camp saw an officer and ran toward the bushes. The officer recognized the man from previous contacts and knew he sometimes armed himself with a knife. The officer pulled out his gun and ordered the man to come out from behind the bushes.
The man ignored the order. Three officers talked to the man for about 15 minutes but he refused to show his hands and come out of the bushes. An officer eventually came up from behind the man and used a Taser to shoot him in the back. The officers then took the man into custody. They searched him and found a glass pipe in his possession.
The man told police as they tried to get him to come out of the bushes that, “These are sacred trees.”
Theft
Officers arrested a woman for investigation of third-degree theft after she reportedly took several items on Jan. 1 from K-Mart, 24800 W. Valley Highway.
A loss prevention officer at the store saw the woman put numerous items into a garbage bag and not pay for the items as she moved past the cash registers, according to the police report.
The woman told officers she planned to take the items because she needed them. The items included diapers, boys briefs, a pair of gloves, ear buds, sheets and garbage cans. The items were worth about $105.
Assault
Police arrested a woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she allegedly punched a woman in the face who she saw in a store with her former boyfriend.
The incident occurred on Jan. 4 at WinCo, 21100 91st Pl. S., according to the police report.
The woman saw the couple and later punched the man’s current girlfriend as she stood in the checkout line.
