#1 Sex Offender Arrest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 7th, around 6:30 p.m., deputies responded to apartments in the 14100 block of Meridian E on South Hill regarding multiple complaints about a male lurking in the complex, speaking to children, and trying to get them to play with him. The deputies made contact with the male, and the suspect refused to stop moving around and remain seated, so the deputies asked him to sit on the ground. The deputies establish reasonable suspicion to detain the male while they investigate further. The male refuses to get into the police vehicle while they investigate. Several attempts to negotiate with him to get into the car end with negative results, and a long struggle ensues. Eventually, the 31-year-old suspect is finally placed into the police car, and probable cause is established for interfering with the investigation and violating his sex offender terms. He was later booked into the Pierce County Jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 6th at 8:02 p.m., deputies were dispatched to reports of a shooting, and a male victim, in his 40s, was lying on the sidewalk of the 10900 block of Park Ave. S in Parkland.

Deputies conducted an area check and interviewed witnesses. No suspects or vehicle involved have been located at this time. The male was transported to a local hospital in serious condition. This investigation remains active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
