Police look for

hit-and-run driver

Police are searching for a driver who struck a woman crossing Highway 104 the morning of Dec. 19 and drove away.

The woman, 47, was using the crosswalk to get to her bus stop on the other side of the highway when she was hit, Edmonds Assistant Police Chief Gerry Gannon said. The driver didn’t stop and headed west on Highway 104, he said.

The incident happened about 7:23 a.m. The woman’s injuries were not life threatening, but further information about her condition was not available due to a federal health privacy law.

A piece of the car left at the scene indicates it was a late-model silver or gray SUV, Gannon said. The car’s left front corner was damaged in the accident.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information about what occurred is asked to call the Edmonds Police Department at 425-771-0200.

Man denies it, but pictures don’t lie

Police cited a man Dec. 9 after shoppers at the Alderwood Mall complained that he was exposing himself inside an automated photo booth.

The shoppers had passed by the booth, where the man had taken down his pants, according to Lynnwood Police Cmdr. Paul Watkins.

“Unbeknownst to him, whatever picture was just taken is shown on two monitors outside the booth,” Watkins said.

Mall security officers were alerted to the situation. When confronted, the man denied the complaints until the pictures were developed.

“He said it was a joke for his wife,” Watkins said.

He was cited for indecent exposure.
