Belligerent Seahawks Fan Allegedly Assaults Motel Patron While High On Drugs

By Brian Slodysko December 10, 2009

A man wearing a Seahawks' Lofa Tatupu jersey was arrested in Greenlake on Wednesday, December 2nd, following a drug-fueled rampage, in which the suspect assaulted a patron in an area motel, impersonated a police officer, and kicked a door open during an attempted robbery.


Trouble began around 9 p.m. when the suspect kicked in the door of a room at the Wallingford Inn, demanding money from a hotel guest, who apparently told the suspect that he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. When the guest tried to dial 911, the suspect pushed his finger down on the receiver, stating "I love starting trouble" and "You don't need to call the police."




The occupant fled the room and notified authorities. But by the time police arrived, the suspect was gone, though he was later spotted at the Seattle Motor Inn.


According to occupants of a room at the Seattle Motor Inn, the suspect pounded on their room door, identifying himself as a Seattle police officer before barging his way in. The suspect then used a comforter to smother the face of a woman lying on a motel bed, demanding money while telling occupants that he would "break their skulls." He also put on a pair of brass knuckles and punched a wall, attempting to intimidate the occupants into giving him money .


Police contacted the suspect at the Seattle Motor Inn following a tip, and arrested him for possession of crack-cocaine and drug paraphernalia, assault, impersonating a police officer, attempted robbery, property damage and weapon possession.


The suspect was wanted on a felony warrant for escaping community custody.
