Seattle Police arrested a man on a federal fugitive warrant in Capitol Hill last week.
On July 7th at 7:27 a.m., patrol officers responded to a report of a man passed out in the driver’s seat of a vehicle near 12th Avenue and East Pine Street.

He was booked into King County Jail and the USMS was notified.
