A man who is a 10-time convicted felon was arrested once more after being suspected of carrying a gun and having a felony warrant.
Tukwila Police Department (TPD) officers initially responded to a call of an unwanted person inside a vacant apartment unit Saturday night, but had the front door slammed in their faces when they tried to talk to the suspect.
According to TPD, the suspect jumped from the second-story balcony before eventually getting caught. Police found a gun on the suspect. As a multiple-time convicted felon, owning a firearm is prohibited. Police also said that the suspect had a felony warrant for unlawful gun possession.
Before the suspect could be booked into jail, he told the officers that he swallowed narcotics, according to KIRO 7, forcing the officers to have the suspect medically cleared before he could go to jail.
