Foil, Pipe, and a Wake-Up Call Early Morning Contact Leads to Warrant Arrest

On August 7, 2025, Issaquah police arrested a man at the Transit Center for possessing drug paraphernalia, confirming an active misdemeanor warrant for assault. The arrest occurred during a routine patrol, and the subject was taken to SCORE Jail without incident. In a separate incident that same day, officers conducted a welfare check for an individual experiencing a mental health crisis, who requested help outside an apartment complex. Officers facilitated communication with the individual’s family, ensuring they felt safe and confirming that transportation to a hospital was already en route. On August 8, officers responded to a disturbance call in the Costco parking lot, where a private contractor was helping a stranded motorist and left the scene without further issues.

Police also addressed reports of a male soliciting money from customers in local businesses, successfully de-escalating the situation. The responses underscore the Issaquah Police Department's commitment to community safety and mental health support. All commissioned officers receive specialized training in Crisis Intervention to effectively handle such situations.
