Steve Sarich says you’ll never get that smell out of the drapes.If Steve Sarich is to be believed, he’s had a rough couple of months. First, the medical marijuana activist got sprayed with a shotgun blast during an attempted robbery of his Kirkland home. Then, when police were serving a search warrant, Sarich claims detectives smeared human shit on his bedroom wall.Sarich made his allegation of “assault by bodily fluids” in an e-mail to the King County Sheriff’s Department. In the message Sarich said the substance “is still being tested,” but added “I have three dogs and I know the difference.” Sarich went on to write that he was willing to take a DNA test to prove he didn’t actually put his own poop on the wall.Sarich doesn’t say why he thinks cops might have done some scatalogical finger-painting in his boudoir. Which is only part of the reason this story stinks.
