K9 helps capture convicted felon in Bellevue
A convicted felon who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison in 2013 for sex trafficking – which the U.S. attorney said involved beating women and exercising violent control over them – is back behind bars.
KING COUNTY, Wash. - A convicted felon who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison in 2013 for sex trafficking – which the U.S. attorney said involved beating women and exercising violent control over them – is back behind bars.
King County prosecutors have charged 48-year-old Reginald Irvin with four domestic violence crimes in Bellevue, including assault and burglary.
What they're saying:
On Feb. 2, a King County Sheriff's K9 team was dispatched to help Bellevue police locate a suspect wanted on a felony court order violation.
Court documents show Irvin is accused of injuring a woman and attacking her son before taking off from their home.
K9 Beau caught his scent, and officers searched the neighborhood around 116th Place Southeast, tracking Irvin to a fenced bus parking lot at Southeast 58th and 119th Avenue Southeast.
After making multiple announcements, a deputy kicked in the locked fence and Irvin said he would surrender. He came out and was cuffed without incident.
Irvin has been free from federal prison for at least the last two years. Since then, he has been convicted of two counts of domestic violence and violation of a court order. He served 193 days and was released from the King County Jail on Nov. 18.
He is scheduled for a review hearing on Friday, and is being held on $150,000 bail.
