It's OK his trail goes cold | POLICE BLOTTER - Renton Reporter
Renton Police officers searching a house on 84th Avenue South for burglars July 27 found a 6-foot-2, 200-pound Renton man hiding in a refrigerator. The man tried to flee but the officer immediately closed the refrigerator door, pinning him inside. The other suspect, also a Renton man and weighing 190 pounds (but nearly a foot shorter), almost managed to escape detection. While the officer went left into the kitchen, a second one went right into the laundry room, finding no one. But a second officer checking again found the suspect hiding behind the clothes washer and hot-water heater. Police were called to the house at about 8:30 a. m. after a nearby resident saw two men kick over a board at his neighbor’s house. They then ran to another house the neighbor said has been vacant for more than a year. The bank that owns the vacant house didn’t want to pursue the matter, but prosecutors were reviewing charges the two men trespassed at the first house. NOT WORTH IT: The 53-year-old Seattle man admitted all of “this” – stolen milk and diapers from Safeway and a string of hit and runs – wasn’t worth it. The man fled from the Safeway on South Second Street at about 4:30 p. m. July 25 after stealing... He came to a stop when he hit a Dodge Durango at Southwest Langston Road and Earlington Avenue Southwest. Source: www.rentonreporter.com
