The following information was compiled from Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:

A Sammamish man armed himself with a shotgun and attempted to chase down whoever vandalized his home and truck on Feb. 15.

When police arrived, they ordered the homeowner in the 700 block of 218 Avenue Southeast to put his gun down, which he did. He told police that someone threw a softball sized rock through the window in his den.

He didn’t see anyone, but thought it was two males he confronted earlier. He said he saw two men, in their 30s, were pushing a wheelbarrow down the road. It was full of fertilizer and had a bicycle on the top.

The homeowner was under the impression they stole the items and he confronted them. He believes the vandalism was an act of retaliation.

Wrong garage

Police found a man working on the exhaust of his car in the Highlands Parking garage Feb. 20.

The officer explained that the garage wasn’t meant to be a space to do car work, and asked the man to pack up his tools and leave.

Secret found

Sammamish police drove up a dirt road the morning of Feb. 20, to discover a bonfire still burning and an area littered with beer cans. Neighbors in the 19000 block of Northeast 39th Street became suspicious when unknown people in trucks were driving on the property south of them — a location with a foreclosure and an empty lot. Police suspect teens were in the area drinking and it will continue to be a hot spot unless monitored.

Too much booze

Police decided to talk to some bartenders on Sunset Way in Issaquah, after seeing three people falling over drunk behind a tavern Feb. 19.

The area frequently has bar hoppers.

Home no more

A Sammamish woman called police Feb. 12 after finding an unknown man in her backyard. The trespasser, who formerly lived at the home in the 2400 block of Northeast 27th Place, was known to have schizophrenia and to have caused severe damage to the home when he lived there.

As the homeowner drove up to her house, the man asked her if someone currently lived there. She said she didn’t know and was from out of the area. When the man entered her backyard, she called police, who removed him from the property. The suspect told police he believed the house was going to the President of the United States.

Who’s the perjurer?

An obviously angry man visited the Issaquah police station to insist that the police in the station be investigated for perjury. The officer recognized the man from a prior incident where he filed a notice about his intent to sue the city.

The man was also advised then that he had been charged with assault by the city prosecutor Feb. 17.

High Five

Police gave a warning to a male who was trying to get people driving by to give him a high five Feb. 19, near West Lake Sammamish in Issaquah.
