Suspect arrested after injuring woman’s hand stealing her phone at 20th/James

Details from SPD:

A young woman sustained a minor injury during a strong-arm robbery in the Central District. On August 14th at 4:02 p.m a female victim was using her cell phone when an unknown male suspect approached her at 20th Avenue and East James Street and took her cell phone from her hand by force and caused an injury to her hand and finger in the process. The suspect then ran away and was pointed out to an officer a few blocks away by some witnesses.

The suspect was apprehended, positively identified by the victim and placed under arrest. Officers recovered the victim’s cell phone from the suspect.

The victim did sustain minor injury to her hand and finger from the assault.

The 23 year old male suspect was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Robbery and a King County Sheriff’s Office warrant for Failure to Appear on a felony narcotics violation.

  1. This young man is my nephew. He is very sweet boy who would never ever do any of these things. The police have been hunting him like coyotes on a rabit since he was 11 years old. This young woman is a paid police informant.

  2. Either your a poser troll trying to get attention or the worst liar. They recoverd the phone he had on him. Perhaps you should join him in jail and move to some other place. No more containment zone here for this!
    Thanks to the SPD and witnesses for your good quick work!

  3. Hi parsley, was your nephew also framed for the crime which resulted in his warrant for Failure to Appear on a felony narcotics violation?

    that’s a lot of framing.
