SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department (SPD) says a 55-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly breaking into a Queen Anne restaurant with a hatchet.
At around 3 a.m., the man broke into the business near 1st Avenue West and West John Street and reportedly stole about $160 worth of alcohol, SPD said.
Officers found the man, arrested him in an alleyway nearby, and found the stolen alcohol as well as the hatchet in a trash can, according to Seattle Police.
