— from Sheriff Ron Krebs —
On August 24, 2015 at approximately 7:30 p.m. a report of Assault DV came was phoned into the Sheriff’s Office.
A female victim suffered significant injuries at the hands of her boyfriend who has an extensive criminal history. Deputies were dispatched to the area where the male subject fled the scene in a black Toyota sedan. A pursuit ensued from the Kanaka Bay area and ended in Friday Harbor when the subject abandoned his vehicle behind the ball fields on Spring Street and fled on foot. He was safely apprehended a short time later by one of the detectives.
He was then transported to the Sheriff’s Office and is currently being held on $250,000 bail. He also has an outstanding federal warrant and will be transferred to the Federal DOC unit upon completion of his criminal proceedings in San Juan County.

I hope they throw the book at him and that he doesn’t end up back on the islands assaulting other woman, or his ex – or worse.
What Sadie said.
I want to thank our sheriff’s officers for taking domestic violence seriously. I hope we will also see that the victim gets the medical and social services she needs to heal in all ways.
