  • Espresso Stand Robber Arrested
    8/20/2009

     

     

    Bothell, Wash. – Today, at approximately 7:15 a.m., Bothell Police arrested a 26 year-old Bothell man suspected of committing an armed robbery at an espresso stand located in the 17700 block of SR 522, City of Bothell.

     

    The robbery occurred yesterday at approximately 1:00 p.m.  The suspect walked up to the window at the espresso stand, pointed a gun at the 23 year-old female employee, and demanded money.  The victim was not injured during the robbery. 

     

    The suspect was located this morning at a Bellevue area motel after Bothell detectives received a tip and conducted further investigation.  Detectives have since recovered the handgun believed to have been displayed during the robbery. 

     

    During an initial interview, the suspect confessed to the Bothell robbery as well as at least three additional recent robberies committed in other cities.  The investigation is continuing and the suspect will be booked into King County Jail for investigation of Robbery 1.

Find help for a domestic violence situation
If you're in immediate danger, call 911 NOW! Domestic violence is a pattern of controlling abusive behavior - emotional, sexual, or physical. It is a pattern that can be prevented and it can be stopped. It is something that can happen to anyone.

Call police for help:
  • Officers can protect you from immediate danger and help you and your children.

  • Officers can arrest the abuser without a warrant when there is probable cause to believe that an assault has taken place or is taking place or that the abuser has violated a protection order.

  • Officers will advise you of Domestic Violence Services, including shelter programs.

  • Officers will write out a police report, which is a detailed account of what happened to you. A police report can be used to help prove the abuse occurred which may be helpful in a variety of court hearings including a Protection Order hearing.

If you would like to learn more about Domestic Violence and some of the resources available to assist victims of abuse, visit the resources located on the City Prosecutor's Office page.
