Kent Police officers fired Tasers to stop a woman and her boyfriend during a dispute that started out as a woman being chased by a man in a car at a parking lot.

Officers responded to a report from a woman who said her boyfriend had been chasing her in a car at about 12:46 a.m. on March 28 in a parking lot in the 26000 block of 116th Avenue Southeast, according to the police report.

Police arrived at the parking lot and talked to the boyfriend, who denied chasing the woman. He said they had an argument about him cheating on his girlfriend and that she bit him on the arm. She then went outside their apartment to call 911.

Officers talked to the girlfriend as she sat in the driver’s seat of a car. They could smell alcohol coming from her and she slurred her speech. She admitted to biting her boyfriend and that they argued about his cheating on her.

Police determined the woman as the primary aggressor and told her to get out of the car. The woman gripped the steering wheel tight and refused to come out. An officer tried to pull her out by the hair but that didn’t work. He then pulled out his Taser and told her to get out of the car. She still refused to leave.

The officer fired a Taser twice into the woman’s leg before finally getting her out of the vehicle.

Meanwhile, the boyfriend saw the dispute and starting to come toward a second officer. When the man refused to stop, the officer fired a Taser to stop him.

Officers arrested the woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault and the man for investigation of obstructing an officer.

Drop the beer

Police arrested a man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly punched a bouncer who told him he couldn’t take his beer outside a bar.

Employees at the Cloud 9 bar, 806 Central Ave., S., called 911 at about 1:41 a.m. on March 29 to report that security had an uncooperative man held down in a parking lot, according to the police report.

The man had tried to walk out of the bar with an open beer container and when a bouncer tried to stop him from taking the beer outside, the man punched the bouncer in the face. Another bouncer helped take the man to the ground and they held him until police arrived.

Officers arrested the man for investigation of fourth-degree assault. The man told police he wanted a lawyer and also added he could have really hurt the bouncer if he wanted to because he’s a master in martial arts.

Car flips, occupants flee

Officers arrested a man for investigation of reckless driving, reckless endangerment and hit-and-run after he allegedly crashed a Chevy Impala while driving too fast through a curve at about 2:22 p.m. on March 29 in the 22400 block of Benson Road.

The car flipped onto its roof but all four occupants were able to walk away from the crash and each fled the scene, according to the police report.

Police stopped two young men walking along Southeast 224th Street who witnesses had seen leaving the car. The two said they were occupants of the vehicle and the driver had lost control going through a curve while driving fast.

The driver called 911 several hours later to report he had been carjacked at knifepoint. Police talked to the man and determined he was the same man witnesses told them had been driving the Impala that crashed earlier in the day.

Stop the screaming

Police arrested a woman for investigation of resisting arrest after she reportedly struggled with officers after being asked to leave the Union Gospel Mission facility on March 28 in the 9000 block of East Canyon Drive.

Officers responded to complaint about the woman who yelled at patrons and claimed people were trying to kidnap her dog, according to the police report.

When police tried to get the woman to leave the facility, she refused to leave. Two officers finally were able to get the woman to a patrol vehicle. She yelled at the officers, “You talk to my attorney! You beat me up! I sue you!”

An officer took the woman’s dog to the King County animal shelter in Kent.
