AREA CHECK | MERRITT PL NE, North Bend
On September 3rd around 11:20PM, an officer contacted subjects who were on the trail after dark for a civil violation. The subjects, a man and woman, ran from the officer, but he caught up.

Both subjects were identified, as they had a recent history of run-ins with the Snoqualmie PD for drug activity and property crimes. They were both informed of the curfew laws on public property, and the man was “educated on proper response when contacted by police” and warned that continued behavior during contacts could end in criminal charges.
