Attempted Theft In The First Degree

In this case, the defendant forcefully grabbed the victim’s purse, knocking her down, and dragging her in an attempt to steal it. It then took two men to detain the defendant before law enforcement arrived to the scene in the Sea-Tac parking garage.

The State is also concerned about the defendant’s Washington criminal history which includes the following convictions: Commission of a Hate Crime (2021); Property Destruction (2011); Criminal Trespass 1 (2014); Theft 3 (2014); Criminal Trespass 2 (2015); Theft 3 (2015) x2; Assault 4 (2015); Harassment (2015); Assault 4 (2016); and Assault 4 (2017). The defendant’s interview report also indicates prior convictions Disorderly Conduct (2007) and Petit Larceny Shoplifting (2008) out of Virginia.

Assault In The Third Degree

From the charging documents:

The State requests the court set bail in this matter in the amount of $50,000.00 as was set at First Appearance because of the likelihood that the defendant will commit a violent offense and because of the likelihood that the defendant will interfere with witnesses or the administration of justice. In this present case, the defendant is captured on video striking the victim multiple times in the back and side of head, even striking the victim while he was down on the ground. As a result of the defendant’s violent and egregious actions, the victim suffered a large laceration and had to be taken to the hospital.
