UPDATE: Man arrested at bar not connected with officer's slaying

Posted by John de Leon

A man arrested last night after he made some suspicious comments at the Lock & Keel Tavern in Ballard is not connected with Saturday's slaying of Seattle police Officer Timothy Brenton, police said this morning.

One bar patron told Seattle Times staff photographer Cliff Despeaux that the man was acting "a little odd" and had made a statement that some believed was threatening to police. The man was taken into custody for questioning to see if he had any knowledge of the slaying.
