Organized Retail Theft in the First Degree
From the charging documents:
Between the period of February 12, 2022, and February 27, 2022, the defendant committed seven thefts from various Ulta Beauty locations and one theft from Lens Crafters in Kirkland. The total loss of these eight thefts amounts to $11,487. The State requests bail set in the amount of $5,0000.00 because it is unlikely the defendant will appear in response to a summons and is unlikely to abide by court orders.

Robbery in the Second Degree
From the charging documents:
On morning of July 17, 2022, the defendant entered the Chevron Station located at 6056 ML King Jr Way S in Seattle, WA. The defendant purchased a lighter from the store employee and victim. Despite paying for the lighter, the defendant exited the store with a pack of cigarettes and a cup of coffee without paying. The [victim/store employee] followed the defendant outside and asked him to return the cigarettes and coffee or pay for the items. In response, the defendant holds a road flare near the right side of the victim’s head/throat and holds a 3–4 inch knife near the left side of the victim’s head/throat. The defendant tells the victim that the stolen items are his and that he will “smash” the victim “with this,” meaning the knife. The victim backed away and the defendant fled in his car. The victim was able to take a picture of the defendant’s car and license plate. Police confirmed the car the defendant used to flee is registered to the defendant. The victim identified the defendant from a photo montage as the suspect in the robbery who held a knife towards him. The State respectfully requests bail set in the amount of $25,000.

Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
The defendant is required to register for life due to his prior conviction for Forcible Rape in the state of Missouri in 1992. In that case, the defendant broke into the victim’s home, raped her, and threatened to return and rape the victim’s daughter. The defendant lacks a fixed address and is therefore required to check in weekly in order to remain in compliance with his registration. The defendant was previously registered in Pierce County and told said county upon his release from custody in December of 2019 that he would register as lacking a fixed address in King County — the defendant said he would be homeless. This investigation by King County Sheriff’s Deputies was referred to prosecutors on July 17 and charged Aug. 1 following an independent review.
