The Seattle Police Blotter Is The One Law Enforcement Blog You Have To Follow
The site, which we spotted after checking out a Twitter link about a man stabbing a restaurant worker refusing to hand over free pizza - the victim suffered non-life threatening injuries - offers plenty of weird crimes happening in the Emerald City.
Here's a sampling from just this week alone:
- Man covered in hot sauce arrested for assault
- Burglar Found Hiding In Pot Grow After Ramming Two Cars, Squaring Off With Martial Arts Instructor
- Man Flies Into Rage After Being Asked to Pay For Third Tub of Ranch Dip
Of course, it's not all funny-sounding crime headlines. They have plenty of serious stories as well.
But the website stands out, likely because it's written by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, a former reporter who also manages the department's social media accounts. Judging by some of the posts on Facebook, we can tell he has a great sense of humor.
