We all know that the texts you get while driving can wait until you get home, but one man’s definition of home was a little odd. A police officer was called to D Street on Dec. 10 when a car kept parking in various driveways on the road. The officer found the vehicle and driver parked at a house and approached the vehicle, where the driver admitted it wasn’t his house. The man claimed he had been parking in driveways to respond to text messages because he didn’t want to do it on the road and he felt the shoulder was too small. The officer ran a records check and discovered the man had a warrant out for his arrest, he was promptly arrested and booked into Fife Jail.
A man riding his skateboard on 21st Street attracted officers’ attention when he began peering into parked car windows with a flashlight as he rode by them on Dec. 11. Suspicious, the officers stopped the young man, who then became very uncooperative. He began filming the officers with his cell phone and became very upset when they confiscated his skateboard, which could be used as a weapon. The young man’s tune changed when it was discovered he had an arrest warrant out for assault. He was transferred to the Puyallup Police department for booking.
