During a routine patrol early Saturday morning, Aug. 31, 2024, Kent Patrol Officer Green arrested a 21-year-old man with a felony warrant for child molestation.

Police said that at around 3 a.m., Officer Green noticed a suspicious vehicle in the 10700 block of SE 240th Street (map below).

After checking the vehicle’s status, he discovered the owner had an active warrant for a 2021 child molestation case in Kent.

The officer quickly detained the suspect as the vehicle began to leave the area.

The man was booked into King County Jail without incident.

“Great proactive work by Officer Green, who quickly assessed the situation and used all legal means to identify and arrest the suspect,” said a Kent Police spokesperson.
