SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department (SPD) says officers arrested a suspect after finding her passed out in a running car.
The woman was found at around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, slumped over in the driver’s seat while the vehicle was still running.
Police say that when officers walked up to the car, they saw a gun sitting on the passenger seat next to her. That’s when they called for backup.
She was removed from the car by police and taken into custody. When officers asked for her information, she provided a false name and identification.
During a search of the car, police found a hammer, a large butcher knife, and a wig.
The suspect was arrested on charges related to the firearm, a Department of Corrections warrant, and suspicion of identity theft.
Police say they are waiting for a more thorough search of the car before filing any additional charges.
