Police apprehend armed burglary suspect
What we know:
Bellevue Police say Domenick Alexander broke into a local business on Jan. 4 and stole 289 laptops. The computers are valued at approximately $75,000. Detectives with the Special Enforcement Team used surveillance video to identify Alexander, noting that his specific hairstyle helped confirm who he was.
When officers caught up with Alexander on March 13, he was armed with a handgun in his pocket and several pocket knives. Police described the firearm as a "ghost gun." Bodycam video shows Alexander becoming emotional during the arrest, telling his girlfriend, "This is for me, it's not for you."
What we don't know:
Police have not yet confirmed the current location of the stolen laptops or if any of the $75,000 in equipment has been recovered.
The backstory:
Alexander told detectives during his arrest that he had already been to detox and was remaining clean from drugs. He is currently being held in the King County Jail on $160,000 bail.
