Police Arrest Man In 'Jerry Springer' Type Situation

PUYALLUP, WA - Puyallup police recently arrested a man in a situation fit for an episode of "Jerry Springer."

Police responded to an apartment complex near the South Hill Mall last week after a woman called 911 to report a man trying to get into her apartment. The man, the woman's estranged boyfriend, refused to leave when she asked.

When police arrived, the woman told officers she had dumped the man after finding out he had another girlfriend in Puyallup. But by the time police arrived, the man had fled the area.

Lakewood police brought a K9 to Puyallup to help track the suspect. He did manage to escape the containment area police had set up, but he chose a bad spot to run to: his other girlfriend's apartment, which was right nearby his other other girlfriend's apartment.

"Containment was established however the suspect had broken containment and was tracked to his other girlfriends apartment complex of just down the street where we are certain everyone was watching Jerry Springer," Puyallup police wrote in the blotter about the incident.

The man was arrested on an outstanding domestic violence warrant.
