On Monday 07/18/16 at 2055 hours I was dispatched to a threat with a weapon at 1111 4th ST NE #101 in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA. Valley Communications stated via the radio a male tried to stab another male in front of unit 101.

The victim, identified as Braulio Magana-Cisneros, approached me and pointed to apartment 101. I asked Magana what had happened, but he did not speak English. Officer J. Michels, who speaks fluent Spanish, arrived and translated for Magana.

Granillo was later called out of apartment 101, was taken into custody, and booked into SCORE jail for Assault 1st Degree.

Officer Michels and I showed the photographs of the knife to Magna and he said it was the knife Granillo had
