On 12/22/08 at approximately 5:00 AM North Precinct Officers were dispatched to a call in the 5100 block of 29 Ave NE. The Communications Center reported that there was a disturbance in the background and that the house had several hang up calls. It appeared that someone kept hanging up the phone to interrupt the 911 calls.
Officers arrived to find an agitated, intoxicated subject. The subject was not compliant and was aggressive to officers and other residents of the building. When the subject began menacing another person officers physically grabbed him to prevent an assault, at which point a struggle ensued.
University of Washington Police arrived to assist in bringing subject under control. Once in the patrol vehicle, the subject kicked out the prisoner cage window from the patrol car.
The officers were able to avoid injury. No force was used by assisting UWPD officers.
