An officer conducted a traffic stop of a suspicious vehicle with three occupants in North Bend. One of the passengers gave a name that came back with no record. After asking the passenger again, he said he didn’t want to give his real name because he had a warrant. He finally gave the officer his name, which returned with a felony warrant out of Kitsap County for Auto Theft.
While detaining the male, two methamphetamine pipes fell out of his pocket. He started complaining that he wasn’t feeling well (often a tactic used to get out of being booked into jail). Aid was called, and the subject was medically cleared. He was transported to King County Jail, where he was medically declined, and the officer released him in Seattle.

Comments
Great enforcement by SNOPO but not so great for King County Jail (He was transported to King County Jail, where he was medically declined, and the officer released him in Seattle) Same old thing – car theft! Hopefully the present lws will be reversed after the next elections!
Maybe the city should build a jail or prison.
