A woman beat up her husband at the Issaquah Transit Center on Sept. 1 after he said he wouldn’t give her a divorce.

Police saw the woman beat the man with her purse. She later told the officer she also used her fists to punch her husband in the head.

The man did not fight back.

The wife told an officer the couple had been married eight years and have been fighting a lot lately. She said she wanted a divorce and his response set her off.

She was arrested and booked in jail for fourth degree assault.

SHAKEN UP

A thief may be at work at a shopping mall on Gilman Boulevard Northwest.

The owner of an antique shop reported the theft of a pair of fancy silver salt and pepper shakers, adding that a suspicious man and woman were near the case Sept. 4. The case was broken into, but no one saw the man take the shakers. Several other shops had been burglarized in a similar manner in recent months.

When police asked for the video surveillance, the manager said it would take 5-6 hours and that she didn’t really have the time.

CAR FIGHT

A drive-through employee on East Lake Sammamish Parkway called police Sept. 2 after seeing a couple fighting in their car.

The driver was holding the woman’s purse out the window of a white truck, and the woman was slapping his arm, trying to get him to give it back.

She looked up at the employee through the window and asked him to call police. The man then drove off. Police were unable to find them.

DRUNK DRIVER

A man admitted to drinking seven beers before getting into his car and driving through Issaquah on Sept. 4.

An officer saw the car on SR 900 in Issaquah and followed it long enough to see him roll over the lane lines and drive in “jerking motions.”

A test showed the man had a .242 blood alcohol level, more than three times the legal amount.

TWICE EXPIRED

A 22-year-old Sammamish man was pulled over by police Sept. 8 for expired tabs, leading to another discovery.

The man attempted to cover a jar containing more than 20 grams of marijuana with his black jacket in the passenger seat of the car. Police quickly caught on, asking the man to lift the jacket.

The driver also had an expired medical marijuana license. Police cited him for expired tabs and seized the drugs for disposal.

MISSING MAIL?

A Sammamish woman called police Sept. 14 reporting that she hadn’t received mail in three days. She said she noticed several of her neighbors mailboxes left open in the 22000 block of Southeast 20th Street.

She added that she received mail every day and that she has had mail stolen in the past. It was unknown if anything was taken.

DRUGS STOLEN

A Sammamish man called police Sept. 14 to report missing prescription medication.

The man, who was moving out of the country, said he believes one of the movers who was working his house took the drugs.

The man confronted the movers, who denied any wrong doing. One of the movers took a drug test that turned up inconclusive. Another employee said he doesn’t buy his coworkers denial for a second as he had asked him earlier in the day if he needed something stronger for his sore back.
