Suspects held by judge after stabbing, burglary in Lake City
Two men arrested on investigation of felony crimes in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood were held by a judge Monday after evidence from police was presented in court by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
On Saturday morning, May 22, a man was stabbed in an encampment at the intersection of Lake City Way Northeast and Northeast 125th Street. The victim was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, and the suspect was arrested by Seattle Police about six blocks east.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, outlining the suspect’s history of violence, asked a judge to hold him on $500,000 bail. The judge set bail at $200,000 and found probable cause for first-degree assault.
We anticipate having the case referred to us by Seattle Police this week for a felony filing decision. Prior to that decision, the stabbing suspect is expected to remain in the King County Jail on the bail amount set by a judge.
In a separate Lake City incident about a block away from Saturday’s stabbing scene, another man was arrested for investigation of burglary. A call to 911 reported a man throwing horseshoes at nearby cars and buildings, and an officer reported seeing the suspect running through a building with shattered glass and an alarm sounding. He had a felony warrant out of Everett at the time of his arrest. That burglary call was roughly six hours after the separate stabbing call.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office asked a judge to hold the burglary suspect on $5,000 bail. A judge set bail at $500 and found probable cause for second-degree burglary.
We also anticipate having that second case referred to us this week for a felony filing decision. Prior to that decision, the burglary suspect is expected to remain in the King County Jail on the bail amount set by a judge.
