Woman demands ride; gets one to jail

An intoxicated woman, banging on the side of a vehicle in Medina, finally got a ride – to the county jail.

Medina police responded to the incident at 8:18 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6 in the 2800 block of Evergreen Point Road.

The victims reported that a woman who got off a bus at the Evergreen Point Park & Ride had tried to force her way into their vehicle, saying “I just need to get back to Capitol Hill.” The victims had to push her out of their vehicle, and when they shut the door the woman ripped off the passenger side mirror and threw it at the car, shattering the window. The woman then began pounding on the hood of the vehicle.

Officers said the female suspect appeared to be extremely intoxicated and became highly agitated and had to be restrained. She then fell to the ground and had to be carried to the patrol vehicle.

The woman was placed under arrest for malicious mischief and assault, and was booked into the King County Jail.
