The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:
A student reported being stabbed several times by a pencil on the bus ride home from Skyline High School on Nov. 22.
He said he was leaning into the center aisle talking, when another student grabbed him and stabbed him twice in one arm and a third time in another.
The teen told the officer he was bitten when he tried to fight the student off. The teen went to an urgent care clinic to get a couple stitches and Band-Aids for the wounds.
When the officer asked him why he didn’t call police, the student responded that he had just “brushed it off.” The teen had shaken the officer’s hand when he spoke, leading him to think he wasn’t in too much pain.
The officer then observed the student was swaying and avoiding eye contact, making him think he wasn’t probably telling the whole truth about the incident.
Trash fight
A fist fight broke out between a mother and a daughter on Southwest Clark Street in Issaquah, after the daughter refused to take out the trash Nov. 11.
When she refused, the mother dumped the trash on the daughter’s bed. The daughter responded by dumping the trash on the mother’s bed.
The mother and daughter began to shove each other, which lead to punching and arguing. The daughter was punched 5-6 times in one arm.
Police decided to arrest the mother, who told them there has been a long history of domestic violence in the relationship and that they were going to family counseling to work it through.
Disorderly drunk
Sammamish police arrested a man who was so heavily intoxicated while driving Nov. 14, that when he finally consented to take a breathalyzer, he had to go to the hospital to get detoxified.
The officer first spotted the man for not using headlights. The officer used lights and chirped his siren a few times, but the man only stopped after pulling into his own driveway.
The man then began to argue with police about their intrusion on his private property. He then refused to get out of his car. The officers warned him that they would use pepper spray, and he responded “go ahead.”
The officer pepper sprayed him, and pulled him out of the car with the help of another officer. They handcuffed him and took him to the Sammamish police station.
He told police he had “a couple” drinks, but after the man was processed in the Issaquah jail, the officer found he had a blood alcohol of .262 percent (0.08 is the legal limit) and that the man’s blood alcohol rate was rising.
The man didn’t have a license, just a state ID. He had been convicted of drunk driving in the past, and was required to have an ignition interlock device.
Teen caught driving drunk
Police arrested a 17-year-old girl for drunk driving, after catching her speeding 57 mph in a 35 mph with her headlights off Nov. 21.
She was traveling on the Issaquah-Pine Lake Road when the officer saw her illegally pass two cars. When the officer pulled her over, she smelled of alcohol, but only admitted to having “a little something.”
The girl’s blood alcohol test came back at .079 and 0.083. The legal limit for minors is 0.02 percent.
