According to a police report, former Russian President Vladimir Putin was apparently arrested at a North Seattle home owned by 80s rock icon Billy Idol two days before Thanksgiving. (Not really!)

On November 25th, police were called to a boarding house on 65th and 15th after one tenant in the home began yelling that he had a "license to kill" and told his roommate he would be forced to "go naked on a train to Siberia."

When police arrived, another resident in the house told officers he'd seen the man pile several items on their porch and attached a note that said the home was now owned by Billy Idol. The note also stated that the note writer's roommate had not yet paid his rent to Mr. Idol and was trespassing.

Another note left in the kitchen—addressed to a Ray Wing, who is not a resident of the house—threatened that someone would "come over to knife [the man's roommates] for [their] funny business." Police also found pictures of swastikas on the kitchen counter next to the note.

Police contacted the yelling, note writing tenant, who told them "he is Vladimir Putin" and lives in Russia. The man also told police he wanted to evict his roommates. When police explained the eviction process to the man—it's not clear that he's actually the landlord—he told officers eviction law "is an FBI rule and does not apply in Russia."

The police report says the man appeared to be "very out of touch with reality" and he was taken to Harborview for a mental evaluation.
