Seattle Police, in a release this morning, said they were called overnight to a report of a naked man “growling like a dog” on a man’s front porch.
Officers contacted the naked man, who was clearly under the influence of narcotics. The man continued to scream that he was “the devil” and that “everyone was going to die.”
Officers ordered the man to lie down, but he instead continued to scream and started punching windows, breaking them and cutting himself.
At that point, officers were forced to use non-lethal force to control him. He was then handcuffed and Seattle Fire was able to treat the cuts to his hands.
The 20-year-old suspect was taken to Harborview Medical Center for further treatment. The incident occurred about 10:50 p.m. on March 1 in the 2000 block of Northeast 105th Street.
Mushrooms are one helluva drug!
John is likely referring to either the City Clerk’s (unofficial) neighborhood map, which thinks Maple Leaf stops at 15th Avenue Northeast, OR the Maple Leaf Community Council’s map, which essentially cuts Maple Leaf off at Thornton Creek.

Yet again Maple Leaf Life gets our neighborhood boundaries wrong and gives our neighborhood unnecessary bad PR. This happened in Victory Heights, not Maple Leaf. Please correct this on your website.
Ha Ha Ha. That headline is sad, but funny as hell. It takes all kind to make a world. Normally, I would say that people should be left alone to do as they please, but I guess exposing his naked body and threatening that people were going to die is legit grounds for the authorities to step in.
