Auburn man arrested for alleged threats to kill Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan
[KING5] Seattle police arrested a 43-year-old man for harassment after leaving a voicemail for Mayor Jenny Summer of Love Durkan
...Democrat Maress of Seattle, who allowed a chunk of the downtown of her city to be turned into an autonomous combat zone...
in which he allegedly stated he wanted to kill her.

Court documents identify the suspect as Rashidi Slaughter of Auburn.

Detectives were told Tuesday the suspect left a voicemail at the mayor's office earlier that morning. They were able to identify the man, determining the call was made from Auburn.

"It just shows again that we're in a very difficult troubled time right now, and this is just another thing that many officials face," Durkan said about the voicemail.

Officers arrested the man in the 4800 block of South 292nd Street in Auburn without incident.

Court documents transcribed the voicemail. It said the suspect did not want police in his life and wanted protective custody from the mayor. The document also says the suspect identified himself on the voicemail by name.

According to that document, the voicemail said in part, "If you don't let me put a civil rights no contact order on anybody I want to, guess what, I don't know I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to kill you and gonna kill you whole family, do you understand me?"

The man was booked into King County jail for investigation of telephone harassment. According to a Conviction Criminal History Report, this is Slaughter's 60th arrest.

The court document said King County Crisis Services reported Slaughter has been diagnosed with a series of mental health disorders.

Durkan's office released a statement saying she has faced several death threats and instances of harassment in her time as a US Attorney and mayor of Seattle. Her home was vandalized more than a dozen times in the last year.

"Violence and threats towards elected officials have no place in our community. The Mayor is grateful for SPD’s continued work to investigate the serious and ongoing threats against her, her family, and their home," the statement read.

Slaughter waived his right to appear in court Wednesday, where a judge found probable cause for felony harassment.

I guess threatening Police and Citizens is OK in Seattle, but they draw the line at politicians.

#4 I'm an SEC fan, and you just can't imagine how confusing that headline is to me. Nick Saban, I could see.

#7 ^ LOL. I didn't think it was you, DB. But one of these days the UN is going to have to send peacekeepers to the Iron Bowl. Maybe Georgia-Florida too. One of my best friends -- a diehard Bama fan from a long line of diehard Bama fans ---recently went through he agony of hearing his daughter tell him that she wanted to become an Auburn cheerleader.

#9 Matt, most of the University of Alabama students I know and most of the Auburn University students I know have no animosity toward either school. It's usually the fans who didn't attend either one who are usually the most rabid. My brother is an avid Alabama fan but my niece went to Auburn. On the other hand my sister's daughter was offered a full scholarship to play softball at Auburn but refused because she wanted to go to Alabama. Alabama didn't offer her anything.
