The officer asked him when did they go there, and he said midnight, the prior night, and there’s no staff on at night.

They spoke to the landlord, who stated they put nothing out and no one had come to apply any pesticides of any sort. The yard is a shared yard with other tenants. It appeared to be a yellowish-white powder, and her boyfriend stated it was burning his nose when he picked up what he could, but they would need some rain to come through and wash it into the grass. We have plenty of that.

April 11 — A man was walking up from the docks near Coho Charters and was approached by a male subject of Middle Eastern descent, driving a brand new white Jeep SRT.

The man called back to say the “Middle Eastern gold guys” are back at it. He is sending someone over who just got ripped off for $1,500 who bought gold- plated brass that isn’t worth $5.

A man came in with a ring and three gold chains, one with a large gold pendant with diamonds. He said a subject from Saudi Arabia sold it to him at the gas station because the subject needed cash to buy a plane ticket back to Saudi Arabia. The man gave the subject $1,500 for the jewelry. The subject then offered him more jewelry. When the man became suspicious of the transaction, the man sped away in a small white truck. He said the man’s wife was wearing a hijab on her head.

April 12 — Reporting party called 911 to report being assaulted by a female house guest. Upon arrival, she stated that the guest grabbed her upper right arm and pushed her out of the room. The caller complained of upper right arm pain, but had no visible signs of injury. She initially told the officer she wanted the house guest charged with assault, but also explained that she just wanted her removed from her house because she didn’t want to testify in court. The officer contacted the guest upstairs in the residence. She was argumentative with the officer and firmly believed that a male subject was trying to enter the room. She told me she pushed an unidentified male subject out. It is plausible that she believed the caller appeared to be a male, based on the hat and clothing she was wearing, and the dark lighting conditions in the residence. She denied being a resident, or living at the house, and told the officer she was just a guest. While the officer was talking with her, she demanded a business card and the officer verbally identified himself by name and ID number. She then demanded to be provided with an attorney. The officer told her she could call an attorney at any time. When the officer told her that the caller requested her to leave, she said she wanted to hear it directly from the caller. At the officer’s request, the caller came upstairs and told her to leave. The house guest collected her belongings and departed on foot without incident, and without giving the officer an opportunity to provide her with his business card. She was clear with the Washington Crime Information Center and National Crime Information Center. It was confirmed that she departed the residence tonight while it was still daylight, and has returned since.
