Blotter: Honey Hole hate crime report, armed driver vs. biker, park beating, wiener patrol

Catching up on our blotter duties, here are some of the more interesting cases handled by the SPD in the East Precinct in the past two weeks. A few have been touched on by other outlets but fairly certain you won't find the actual reports the journalists are getting their information from anywhere but here. And from the East Precinct front desk, of course.

• CHS noted that there had been no police report filed in this alleged hate crime that occurred the first night of the Capitol Hill Block Party when the Seattle PostGlobe first reported on it. Since that time, the victim contacted police to report the beating and the assault is being investigated as a bias crime. Police are seeking the five suspects. Here is the incident report:

• A man was arrested in an armed robbery at Summit and Howell in which a twenty dollar bill was taken from the victim. The alleged knifepoint robbery occurred on Sunday, August 2 around 5:30 PM. The victim described the suspect to police as a black male in his late 30s wearing a black shirt and black shorts. The police found a man fitting the description nearby shortly after the attack. 44-year-old Mark Antonio Smith was arrested and booked into King County Jail for investigation of robbery after the arresting officer found a springblade knife, alleged drug parephenalia and a credit card belonging to somebody else in his pockets. Smith said he was selling fake crack and did not pull a knife on the victim, according to the SPD report.

• This one is a little older and was covered by the Seattle PI's 911 blog but they didn't include the report document. A 50-year-old South Seattle woman with a concealed weapon permit got into a heated exchange with a bicyclist at Madison and 12th Ave. The biker says she waved a gun at him. She said she was just getting her cell phone out of her purse. Here's the report:

• This SPD incident report involving a man beaten and robbed in Cal Anderson Park by a group of assailants was first reported by the Slog: Roving Gang of Hooligans Assaulting People In Cal Anderson Park? CHS hasn't found other reports of this type from the SPD but we'll follow up to see if the department has more information or has stepped up patrols around the park.

• This officer knows his beat. Not sure I would notice a new hot dog vendor in the Pike/Pine crowd. This incident occurred on East Pike:

On 08-02-09 I stopped to contact a new hot dog vender (sic) in the area. I had not seen this vender before and asked to see his business license. The owner, told me he forgot it at home. He identified himself to me using his Washington State driver's license. He said he would stop selling and go get it. I also told him I would need to see his SFD permit and health cards for his two employees. After (redacted) I left I ran his name. DOL records show he was DWLS 3. His wife (one of the employees) said he left in the truck to go home. I left the area but said I would be back.

I returned about 1 hour later and showed me his business license, fire permit and health cards. I was not able to inspect these for very long due to the fact that ran into the road to show me and traffic was backing up. It is unknown if all his permits and licenses were current.
