Armed with a kitchen steak knife, a man kicked in the front glass to Hannah’s Pub, then started to strip completely naked when confronted by Olympia Police.
Samuel Elliot Ketchum, 38, a transient, refused to leave after Hannah’s Pub staff told him that it was last call for 11:50 p.m. on Sat., May 15 and that he had to exit.
Ketchum told the staff to call 911, which the staff did, wanting Ketchum removed from the premises.
Olympia Police contacted Ketchum, who was under the influence of alcohol and had a beer in his hand. Ketchum was asked by officers several times to leave Hannah’s Pub.
Finally, after several minutes, Ketchum left Hannah’s Pub and told the female law enforcement officer that “I hope your vagina doesn’t procreate” and “if you pull me over, you’re dead.”
Ketchum revealed a kitchen steak knife. Olympia Police decided to disengage with Ketchum “in the hopes that he would calm down” and left the scene entirely.
Within two minutes, Hannah’s Pub contacted 911 dispatch to report that Ketchum had kicked in the front door and shattered the glass.
Ketchum had walked down Columbia St SW and 7th Ave SW, and was approaching a female officer’s marked patrol vehicle. Surrounded by responding Olympia Police, Ketchum tossed his bag, and items to the ground, including the 2” – 4” silver knife down at his feet. Ketchum began lying on the ground, rolling around, yelling at law enforcement.
Then, Ketchum stood up, and stripped off his clothing, becoming completely naked. Ketchum was arrested without incident.
Ketchum’s preliminary breath test was .130 at 12:42 a.m. and he was arrested for Property Damage and Criminal Trespass at the Olympia Jail.
