Submitted by San Juan County Sheriff Ron Krebs

On Aug. 24 at around 7:30 p.m. a report of domestic violence was phoned into the San Juan County 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 Department of Corrections unit upon completion on his criminal proceedings in San Juan County.
