You know what they say about drinking and driving? Same thing goes for carrying an AK-47 in your car if you plan to drink and drive.

At 11:53 last night, Seattle police and Port of Seattle patrol officers responded to the 6200 block of Seaview Avenue North to investigate a report of a traffic collision involving fleeing armed suspects.

Officers arrived and detained two male suspects, a 17-year-old driver and a 20-year-old passenger. The driver, who officers believed to be under the influence of alcohol, had crashed a black sedan into two parked cars. According to witnesses, the driver got out of the car armed with a rifle, which he hid in some bushes.

Officers searched the area and found an AK-47 assault rifle loaded with a 30- round "banana" clip, police said. Officers searched the passenger and discovered that he was armed with an illegal "butterfly" knife. Police also found two baseball bats and a red bandanna in the back seat of the car.

The 17-year-old driver was arrested and processed for DUI. He was later booked into the Youth Service Center for the felony weapons possession and DUI. The passenger was arrested and booked into the King County Jail for the knife violation.

The weapons were seized and placed into evidence.
