During this incident I was equipped with body-worn camera which records both audio and video. Portions of the incident were recorded. This report is merely a summary of the incident and is not intended to be an exact transcription of the entire investigation or what may have been captured with the recording system. During this incident I was wearing a department issued uniform or jump suit and outer carrier vest which was marked with "Police"both on the front, back, and department patches on each shoulder of the uniform or jumpsuit, as well as a Renton Police Velcro badge on my left chest. It would be immediately obvious to any reasonable person that I was a Police Officer. On 10/23/2025 at 1143 hours I was dispatched to a dog attack at 11115 SE 168th St. Upon my arrival, I met with Sarchil R. Amin (DOB: 12/13/1997)who lives at the dispatched address which also serves as a daycare. Sarchil informed me that a parent had dropped of their child and stated that there was a white dog running around their property. Sarchil stated that there had previously been a husky that attacked and killed one of their goats and he feared that it was the same dog. Sarchil stated that he went to where the parent had seen the dog and Sarchil said that he saw the husky in his yard and the husky had its mouth around the neck of a goat that was laying on the ground. Sarchil said that he was able to leash the dog and secure the dog inside of an exterior building before calling 911.The goat was dead upon my arrival, and I was able to see that there was evident bite marks around its neck. I saw that the goat had freshly defecated and the excrement was still partially within the goat, showing that the goat had died very recently and was still possibly alive when the husky attacked it as the excrement would have been shaken loose from the goat had it already been dead. I photographed the dead goat and uploaded the photos to evidence.com. I spoke with the owner of the goat, identified as Kossar R. Amin (DOB: 04/10/1992)via facetime as he is currently out of the country. Kossar was unsure whether he would like to pursue charges at this time but did state that he had the phone number of the husky owner from the previous attack. I took custody of the husky and transported it to the Renton Kennels where I placed it in the Southernmost kennel with fresh food and water. I called the owner of the husky, who was identified as Mariah A. Lynge (DOB: 10/05/1971) and informed her of the incident. When I first called her, she stated "you have my dog" as it was apparent that she already knew the dog was ..4,7. .. �. ., .I. ..,,.. 4y . missing. I informed her that her dog had entered the Amin property again and had killed another goat which she immediately denied. I informed her that Sarchil witness the husky actively attacking their goat and she sounded upset by this. I informed her that her husky is at the Renton Kennels and that I would forward this to Animal Control. 1 certify(declare)under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.

The recording and complete case report 25-9184 is 14 hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. 15 Having reviewed the police reports,photos,attachments,witness statements,also taken informal 16 testimony from the Animal Control Officer,and speaking to witnesses,victims,and hearing arguments 17 from the dog's owner, Mariah Lynge,the hearing officer finds as follows: 18 Testimony, Reports and Evidence 19 Koby is a 6-year-old Siberian Husky. Koby resides in Renton Washington, King County at 16835 113th Ave 20 SE with Mariah Lynge and family. Koby is owned by Mariah Lynge. Mariah describes Koby as a really 21 good dog and not dangerous to people or animals. Mariah is surprised by the events and has a hard 22 time believing Koby would be responsible for this event. Mariah describes Koby as of a typical Husky, 23 which is very smart and has escaped her fully fenced back yard by digging underneath the fence. Mariah 24 stops this if she sees Koby digging however the backyard is roughly an acre,so it is difficult to fully 25 protect that large of a fence run all the time. Mariah admits Koby has escaped the yard around S times 26 in the three-year period she has owned him. Mariah is not aware of Koby killing any other domestic 27 animals when he has escaped the yard in the past except for one previous incident regarding the same 28 victims in this case. Mariah is not sure Koby killed the victim's goat in the past incident but did 29 financially compensate the victims for their dead goat. The circumstances of that incident are very 30 similar to the circumstances of this incident. In response to the past incident Mariah started to put Koby 31 on a 25-foot lead in the backyard so he could not escape again. Koby sleeps inside overnight however 32 Koby was accidentally let out into the backyard and not secured to the lead around 0700 hours on 33 10/23/25. 34 2025-9184 Dangerous Dog Determination 1 Sarchil and Kossar Amin are brothers and live at 11115 SE 168th Street in Renton Washington, King 2 County with family which is around the corner from Koby. Soo's creek is also between the backyards. 3 There is a daycare that operates on the property. The property is about an acre and a half. There is a 4 fully fenced in acre where there are outbuildings and pens for animals. They have goats and usually 5 chickens but no chickens currently. The goats sleep in the pens/outbuildings but get fed and let out in 6 the mornings into the fenced acre area. Witness Sarchil Amin stated that on 10/23/25 around 1030 7 hours a parent that was dropping a child off for daycare informed him that a white dog was running 8 around on his property. Sarchil was concerned because of a past incident where a husky dog was on 9 their property and when they saw the husky he was on top of one of their goats and was eating/biting it. 10 The goat was dead. The Husky was chased away from the goat and then captured as the husky is 11 friendly with people. The husky was Koby. Mariah responded to get Koby. Although Mariah was 12 surprised by the incident and not sure Koby killed the goat,she did pay damages to the Amin's for the 13 lost property. Due to this past incident Sarchil ran out to the goats. Similar to the first incident Sarchil 14 I saw the husky with its mouth around the goat's neck as the goat was on the ground dead.

The Husky was Koby. 18 19 Officer Arnold responded to the 911 call and took custody of Koby. Officer Arnold took photos of the 20 goat and based on his observations the goat had been killed recently.
