Portland man held on $200K bail after domestic assault at Seattle Airbnb

A weekend trip to Seattle for a Portland woman's birthday celebration ended in her having to kick out a window screen of an Airbnb in White Center to escape barefoot to a neighbor's home.

What we know:

King County Sheriff's Precinct 4 deputies say she called 911 from their phone after her boyfriend allegedly threw her against a wall, put a loaded gun to the back of her head, and imprisoned her in a bedroom after she told him she wanted to break up.

Deputies arrested 37-year-old Michael Mandley on Nov. 1. He was arraigned in court Monday for second-degree assault DV (domestic violence), unlawful imprisonment DV, felony harassment DV and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.

The King County Air Support Unit's Guardian 1 helicopter tracked the vehicle Mandley was driving after the call for help went out from dispatch.

"She broke out of a window and left the Airbnb that she was in. X apparently threw her against the wall, said that she would die today, and then apparently put a handgun to the back of her head. He then drove away in her car," said the 911 dispatcher.

Mandley was arrested and denied having a gun. Deputies located it in a bag of clothes in the back of the car. It was loaded with a round in the chamber and had been stolen.
