Drinking and weaving
An officer arrested a man for drunk driving at 1:55 p.m. Feb. 28 at 460 Southeast North Bend Way. The officer saw the driver fail to stop at an intersection and followed him. The driver failed to signal at another intersection, wove from the centerline to the fog line and trailed another car in a roundabout at too close a distance. The man readily admitted to having consumed three drinks and agreed to perform field sobriety tests. The officer noted that the man had the strong odor of intoxicants on his breath, bloodshot eyes and swayed from side to side during a balance test. After getting the man to give two breath samples, the officer had the man leave his car on the street and drove him home. Police cited him for driving under the influence of alcohol and forwarded the case to the city’s prosecutor’s office.
Drunken car crash
Police arrested a man and cited him for driving under the influence of alcohol and for reckless driving. The man drove off the road, hit a road sign and crashed near the intersection of Southeast Cedar Falls Way and 436th Avenue Southeast at about 8:50 p.m. Feb. 28. Police took two breath samples and found that the man’s blood alcohol level was between .230 percent and .211 percent. The legal limit for an adult to drive is .08 percent. After completing his paperwork, police dropped off the suspect at a local Shell Station, as per his request.
Car missing
A woman reported her silver 2007 Honda Pilot is missing. She said someone stole it from the back of her residence in the 800 block of Ballarat Avenue Northeast between 11 p.m. Feb. 23 and noon Feb. 24. She said she left a key to the Honda in her unlocked truck and it appeared the suspect went through the truck and found the key.
Felon arrested through routine check
Police arrested a man Feb. 25 after discovering he had an outstanding $25,000 warrant for possession of drugs out of Kennewick. The man’s car was parked in the ACE Hardware parking lot on East Park Main Avenue South when an officer did a routine check of the car’s license tabs. When police arrested him, they learned he had four more warrants out of Kennewick, two for burglary, one for escape and one for theft. Police booked him into the King County Jail. They left his truck at the scene, legally parked, at his request.
