Exciting night for the Seattle Police Department, as they responded to a DUI collision involving two parked cars at the 6200 block of Seaview Avenue N. The believed-to-be-intoxicated suspects, a 17-year-old male driver and a 20-year-old male passenger, were armed and running (slowly) in circles. Witnesses spotted the driver hiding an AK-47 in the bushes shortly before the two suspects were arrested. Officers hit the weapons jackpot upon finding the rifle loaded with a 30 round "banana" clip, two baseball bats, and an illegal "butterfly" knife on the passenger. The SPD also reported a red bandanna--gang colors!--found in the back of the black sedan. Both were booked on various DUI and weapons charges.

The ethics pissing match surrounding the Seattle Fire Department finally came to a halt, after the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission determined fire lieutenant Milton Footer abused his power while working at Qwest Field. Milton was accused of soaking up free parking passes and concert tickets, and giving the "gimme or else" attitude to get his hands on Hannah Montana backstage passes. In return, he didn't bill Qwest Field for $200,000 in fire services. Eyebrows had been raised over Milton's actions over the years, that just so happened to be overlooked by Fire Chief Gregory Dean--who received a slap on the wrist from the Mayor. The actions by Milton only came under investigation after a whistleblower, a fellow fire fighter, brought the claim to the Superior Court in March.
