Blotter | Butter knife attack and I5 leap burglary charges, Broadway copy shop burgled

  • Butter knife attack charges:A King County District Court judge has found probable cause to hold 35-year-old Andre Hobbs on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and reckless endangerment in the December 13th butter knife attack inside the Broadway/Pine Walgreens that left one man with a nasty cut to the face. The victim appeared in CHS comments saying he ended up with a few stitches from the attack that left many cowering in fear inside the pharmacy as Hobbs allegedly threatened passersby.
  • Still no 12th Ave trafficking charges: The man arrested and subsequently released “pending filing of charges” after this early November SPD raid on 12th Ave remains free and has not yet been charged with a crime. Police have said the 12th Ave home was part of a “major stolen property trafficking operation.”

  • Alleged I5 jumping burglar charged: The suspect arrested after being forced to drop his goods at gunpoint while being chased down by a ripped-off homeowner and then making this mad dash across I-5 has been charged for the crime. 32-year-old Schylar West has been charged with residential burglary for the November 16th break-in at a Bellevue Ave E apartment. 

His 20-feet leap onto the roadway injured West badly enough to require extended hospitalization. West has past convictions for escape, robbery and assault as well as burglary.

Robbing a copy store? Would have made off better from a candle business…

Did anyone hear a commotion around 14th and Cherry this morning around 3? I woke up to a woman screaming, lights from a police car flashing, obvious commands of a police officer for a person to get on the ground, all ended by a single gunshot. I looked outside a few minutes later but there was nothing. Apparently, mid morning there were numerous cop cars and people perhaps in custody in the same area. Anyone have any ideas? Also, what the hell is going on??

“no 12th Ave trafficking charges”

Must be co-operating.

I suspect that it’s a very complicated investigation, tracing all the stolen goods in order to prove they were stolen in a court of law. But this guy deserves a significant sentence and jail time….that house and the garage were packed with stuff that were part of the criminal operation.
