School guard Kale Tinsley told KOMO News, “He grabbed two children. He grabbed one and thought it was the girl he wanted to take, but then another girl tried to defend her friend and he stopped her, grabbed her too. . “ According to the report, a witness “described the suspect as a thin black man wearing black clothes and having previously been on the school premises” who “entered the school with a red and black backpack but had taken a student’s black backpack and placed his red / black backpack inside the student’s backpack “. The school went into lockdown. However, according to the report of the incident, when the police arrived, Director Richard Baileykaze did not cooperate with the police, which prevented them from arresting the suspect. A response officer wrote in the report, “I met with Director R. Baileykaze in the north car park. He was observing the suspect with two other teachers. He provided very little information about the incident. I was only informed that the suspect jumped the fence.” He continued, “Principal R. Baileykaze and the other two teachers did not speak to me. They had not informed me of any crime, so I contacted the suspect thinking that I was doing well because of his mental state. He appeared to be under the influence of drugs. substances or possibly have a mental episode “. The officer wrote that Harasam was “walking in circles” while throwing objects. He continued, “As soon as HARASAM, LIBAN left the school premises, Principal R. Baileykaze now stated that the suspect had taken a child’s backpack.” However, the officer said in a statement: “Director R. Baileykaze has now claimed that HARASAM, LIBAN, had the backpack. I continued to walk away. “I could not confirm his previous allegations of crime.” The officer explained, “I no longer had a possible cause for the crime, as no victim was identified for the theft and Director R. Baileykaze left refusing to cooperate.” As a result, Harasam fled the scene and tried to steal a DHL delivery vehicle. According to a second officer, the DHL driver “stated that he had left his truck running while disembarking quickly”, and then saw Harasam getting into the truck. The report continued, “[The driver] he started shouting at the man to come out, believing that the suspect was ready to steal the vehicle. [The driver] reached the door of the vehicle and stuck to the face with what he thought was a blue binder. He tried to get away from the blow but was hit in the mouth causing a bleeding hem to rupture. The [driver] pulled the man out of the vehicle, but the suspect snatched the victim’s mobile phone from the steering wheel. “The victim believed that the suspect was trying to steal his phone before getting out of the vehicle.” Harasam reportedly fled and boarded a King County subway bus. The police boarded the bus and Harasam allegedly fought them. According to a third report of the incident, as an officer “was trying to handcuff LIBAN, LIBAN deliberately used his body and hit [an officer’s] the wrist in the bus window causing substantial pain and possible injury. “It was later discovered that the police officer broke her wrist during the altercation. As Harasam stepped off the bus, “LIBAN was fighting all the time, shouting ‘you probably have no reason.’” Because of his “irregular” behavior. Police found stolen items in Harasam, some of which were returned to their owner. Casey McNurtney, a spokesman for King County Sheriff’s Office, told KOMO News, “I think when parents say, ‘Isn’t this a crime?’ the police”. McNeartney continued, “In a conversation with the City Attorney and the SPD about this on Friday, the KCPAO learned that the director was unwilling to help and the only information they had was that the accused had entered the building.” According to the city attorney’s office, “Our office was in close contact with the King County Attorney’s Office and the Seattle Police Department regarding this incident. Although we agree that these allegations are serious, some “However, other charges were found not to meet the standards of the King County Attorney’s Office.

The city attorney initially asked for $ 25,000 bail, but the judge reduced that amount to $ 10,000 to be charged despite his long rap sheet.

That is why our office “Our commitment to restoring accountability in real time.
