FUGITIVE WANTED BY DOC IN YAKIMA COUNTY June 14, 2013 -- His street name, is ‘Loco’ -- perfect for missing high-violent offender, Levi Cantu. He’s wanted by Grandview police for drugs and guns, and by the Department of Corrections for Escape in Yakima County -- but officers think he could be hiding in the Seattle area now. Cops say ‘Loco's’ deep into meth, gangs, and violence -- like the brutal brass-knuckled beating he gave a store clerk -- over beer. "Levi and his friend stole beer from a convenience store,” says DOC Ofc. Christina Lacy. “When the clerk tried to stop them, they hit him in the head with fists, brass knuckles, and a 4" pipe. The clerk suffered major bruising, and cuts to his head and his face.” Cantu's huge rap sheet includes convictions for assault, burglary, robbery, and a ton of domestic violence crimes. Officers say his mixture of drugs, gangs, and guns makes Cantu a 'high safety risk' to anyone trying to come after him. Here are the details on LEVI CANTU:
Officers say he hangs out in the Sunnyside/Grandview areas of Yakima County – but again -- could be hiding around the Seattle area now.
