Robbery in the Second Degree
From the charging documents:
On July 29, 2022, the defendant entered QFC located at 2500 SE Barton St. Seattle, WA. The defendant put three bags of frozen shrimp in a shopping cart and walked towards the exit without paying for the merchandise. QFC staff, stopped the defendant and asked him to pay for the frozen shrimp. In response, the defendant pulled out a bloody needle, uncapped it, pointed it towards [the victim], and said “If you come near me, I’ll stab you.” [The QFC employee] was afraid the defendant would follow through with his threat and backed away while the defendant exited the store without paying. The defendant was located by police nearby and he still had the stolen merchandise on his person. During a search of the defendant, several used syringes were located on his person. While the defendant has no known convictions or warrants, the State still believes bail is necessary and appropriate given the violent nature of the charge. The State is concerned the defendant will engage in future acts of violence if released. For these reasons, the State respectfully requests bail set in the amount of $10,000.00.

Felony Harassment
From the charging documents:
On July 31, 2022, the defendant entered the CVS Pharmacy located at 531 Queen Anne Ave N., Seattle, Washington. Upon entry the defendant immediately stated that he was going to take some items from the store and that if anyone in the store tried to stop him, he would “cut” someone. The defendant looked directly at one of the victims and stated, “I’ll destroy you.” Based on past behavior exhibited by the defendant, specifically the defendant carrying a 6-inch knife on his person and threatening the victim as well as other store employees prior to this incident, the victim felt threatened and wanted to hide. The victim and other employees then watched the defendant as he grabbed a blue chest cooler from a shelf, fill it with a variety of beer, and leave the store without paying. The defendant was told he could not leave the store without paying. The defendant again threatened to stab anyone that got in his way. The defendant was arrested by law enforcement and the victim positively identified the defendant. the State requests the court set bail in this matter in the amount of $25,000, which is the amount the Court set at First Appearance, because the defendant will fail to appear and will commit a violent offense.
