He was arrested for investigation of domestic violence and first degree assault and booked into King County Jail.

Business License Violation: A man was arrested for soliciting without a license, after a homeowner on the 1500 block of 229th Ave NE called police when the man couldn’t produce a solicitors license.

Domestic Violence: A 39 year old Sammamish man was arrested for fourth degree assault after slapping his wife at their home, near the 3800 block of 206th Place NE. The woman attempted to recant after her husband was arrested and refused to give a statement, but since she had reported that he hit her and it hurt, police had arrested the man and gave her information about how she could seek to have the charges dropped.

Fraud: a 72-year-old Sammamish man reported to police that he had received a letter saying he had won third place in the Publisher’s clearing house, along with a check for $2,750, with instructions to deposit the check and use it to pay for delivery, and wire the remainder to an address in New Jersey. The man deposited the check at Wells Fargo’s ATM in Sammamish, then called the next day to see if it had cleared. It had cleared, so the man wired $2,450. Afterward, he received a call with a Quebec label on the caller id telling him that he needed to send another 1800 for a luxury tax. Becoming suspicious, he refused, then tried to call a complaint line to get a refund, but was refused. He then learned that the original check had bounced, causing him to lose $2,450.

Gas stolen: A Sammamish man reported to police that someone had siphoned the gas from a 2002 Chevy S10 pickup overnight while it was parked at Plateau motors. He added that this has happened a few other times to different vehicles that have been parked at the shop. The vehicles, with the exception of one, did not have locking gas caps.
