D ST SE in the City of Auburn, King Co, WA. Dispatch advised the reporting person, Alice Weigel, stated her son, Adam Weigel, had slammed her hand in a door. Dispatch advised Alice declined medical aid.

Adam stated he was going to leave the residence for a couple hours to prevent any further issues between he and Alice.
Officer Feero provided Alice with a Domestic Violence pamphlet. This case is
