A sizable police response drew attention to a house in the 9200 block of SW Olson Place this afternoon, along the hill at the end of the Roxbury corridor. Seattle police vehicles were leaving when a reporter arrived, and the department had not answered a request for information.

Court and jail records indicate the 69-year-old man listed in county records as the homeowner was booked into King County Jail at midafternoon in connection with a five-year-old case. Court documents show he was charged with trafficking in stolen property and missed a hearing in early 2022, prompting an arrest warrant.

The jail register shows he was being held on that warrant, with bail set at $5,000. Police had not provided an account of the operation or explained the size of the response.
