A 35-year-old Seattle man was booked into the King County Jail on Monday morning on investigation of assault and malicious mischief, accused of throwing chunks of concrete onto Interstate 5 in Kent, injuring one man and causing damage to four vehicles, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Just before 12:30 a.m. Monday, a motorist called 911 and reported a pedestrian had thrown a rock onto the freeway near South 272nd Street, damaging the victim’s windshield, Trooper Rick Johnson wrote in a news release. The first trooper to arrive notified dispatchers that two motorists with damage to their vehicles were waiting to talk to a trooper. The first trooper said he would be pursuing a pedestrian on foot, the release says.

The trooper then found the suspect lying in tall grass, near large chunks of concrete that appeared to have been broken off a barrier, Johnson wrote. The man was detained, and one of the motorists later identified him as the person who threw a chunk of concrete at the motorist’s vehicle, says the news release.

The investigation was moved off the interstate to a nearby parking lot, where two more motorists reported damage to their vehicles, according to the release. One man received minor injuries after being struck in the shoulder by a hunk of concrete; he also had minor cuts to his face and arms from his shattered windshield, the release says.

As of June, the State Patrol had received 74 reports of rocks being thrown at vehicles on Interstates 5 and 90 in Seattle.

Usually the people doing this crap is punk teenage kids.

This guy was 35 years old. He should never have another day of freedom.

Assault and malicious mischief?

Attempted homicide and risking catastrophe would be more appropriate.

How about letting me take him street skiing down I-5 behind my semi?

Hmmm… a 35 year old man apparently identified as “the man”.

35 years old, and he’s got nothing better to do at midnight.
Probably a drifter or doper, living in campgrounds.

4 chunks of concrete to the skull from 30 ft above should provide Social Justice.

“assault and malicious mischief”

How about “attempted Murder 1”?

Seattle is full of bike trails, it is an extremely bike-friendly city.

And guess what? Pretty much every one of those bike trails has become a long, skinny homeless encampment, with hundreds and hundreds of tents and cardboard boxes and other types of hovels pretty much blocking the way.

The bike riders are very conflicted about this, since they are pretty much all far-lefties.

I’m not saying that we need name Nazi’s like some countries do, but some names ought to be illegal, that that’s one.

Sounds like the homeless have ruined that area for what it was designed to do: Bike Trails.
That is similar to what’s going on right now south of me at the formerly fun and clean Venice Beach.

Is that actor “Festus” from Gunsmoke?
He always had a devilish/ mischievous look.
