DISORDERLY CONDUCT

• At 12:05 a.m. April 26, an officer noticed a group of males in front of a bar engaged in an altercation. When he turned around in his patrol car, the group dispersed. Several subjects stated the altercation had ended and the parties were leaving the area. When the officer began to leave, a 28-year-old man who appeared intoxicated began yelling at the officer and others at the front of the bar. The officer told the man to go inside and the man appeared to challenge the officer to a fight. When the man began approaching the officer, the officer asked the man to get on the ground. The man refused and continued to advance on the officer, who then used a Taser on him. Backup arrived and the man was placed under arrest and transported to Buckley jail.

THEFT

• A 36-year-old man reported two packages were stolen from outside one of his residences. Police responded at 9:15 p.m. on April 28. He is between residences, since one is being renovated. The packages taken were an LCD projector and a refrigeration pressure gauge.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

• Police responded to a report of a domestic dispute at 105 St. Ct. E. at 2:50 p.m. on April 26 between a 32-year-old female and 47-year-old male. The exes were in a dispute over child custody issues. The 47-year-old provided police with paperwork confirming he had legal custody of their child. The 36-year-old was reportedly in the process of moving out while the 47-year-old was elsewhere with their 5-year-old son, when the woman called him and demanded he give her their son. The man left their son with friends and went to visit with the woman to see what she was upset about. Police resolved the dispute and left the scene. At 3:31 p.m., police were dispatched to the residence again because the woman reportedly assaulted the man by throwing an oyster shell full of thumb tacks at him. She reportedly fled from the residence. The man suffered minor puncture wounds from the tacks on his abdomen.

DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE

• An officer stopped a vehicle at 12:17 a.m. on April 23 in the parking lot of a retail store on state Route 410. The vehicle had made several wide and fast turns. When the officer approached the driver in the car, a stong odor of intoxicants was present. The 21-year-old driver’s face was flush and he was slurring his speech. He had difficulty locating his license. A computer check reported the driver had a misdemeanor warrant out of Pierce County for failure to appear and driving with a suspended license, but his license was reinstated. The officer asked the driver to step out of the vehicle and when he did, he needed to lean against the vehicle for balance. Following field sobriety tests, the man was arrested for driving under the influence. He was transported to the Bonney Lake Police Station for DUI processing. At the station he provided a breath sample at 0109 hours of .149 and another at .153 at 0112 hours. He was then transported to Buckley Jail and booked.
