Burglary In The Second Degree
On July 26, 2022, the defendant, a trespassed shoplifter, entered Target located at 4535 University Way NE Seattle, WA. The defendant is well known by Target staff and was seen selecting merchandise before walking past all points of sale without rendering payment. The defendant was formally trespassed from the store for a period of one year on February 13, 2022. While the defendant does not appear to have any prior convictions, he does have several pending cases. In Seattle Municipal Court the defendant has cases pending from 2021 and 2022 for Criminal Trespass in the First Degree (8 counts), Attempted Criminal Trespass in the First Degree (2 counts), Theft in the Third Degree (18 counts), and Harassment (2 counts). The defendant also has an active warrant from August 2022 in Tukwila Municipal Court. The defendant’s behavior demonstrates that he is unlikely to follow court orders. For those reasons, the KCPAO asked a judge to hold him in jail on $5,000 bail.
