On 12/13/2024 at approximately 0235 hours, one of our deputies was on routine patrol in the Fred Meyer parking lot at 176th and Meridian when he noticed an agitated individual that was yelling and harassing Fred Meyer employees. An employee reported he was looking into vehicles while she was in her vehicle, and she was fearful he was going to hurt her. The manager wanted him removed from the premises. When the deputy attempted contact, it turned into an unexpected standoff.
The 33-year-old male had multiple felony warrants, which would explain why he did not want to go to jail. Great job to these deputies for the tremendous amount of patients they had while working through the safest plan of action to get this man into custody.
