WA fugitive on the run wanted for robbery, gun theft
Authorities are searching for 25-year-old Bryce Lewis, wanted for robbery, firearm theft, and identity theft charges.
DES MOINES, Wash. - A wanted fugitive is on the run, accused of breaking into lockers at a Des Moines gym, stealing credit cards, and firing a shot with a stolen gun when a victim confronted him.
King County Sheriff's detectives are searching for 25-year-old Bryce Lewis. He's wanted on charges of first-degree robbery, second-degree theft of a firearm, and two counts of identity theft.
Lewis allegedly stole two people's wallets at the Des Moines Planet Fitness and used the cards at a nearby grocery store. When one victim received an alert on his phone about the card usage, he confronted Lewis, who fired a shot towards him after a brief struggle, according to court documents. The victim was not injured.
Lewis is described as 5'9", 220 pounds and has tattoos on his arms. One on his right arm reads "FTP," and his left arm is tatted with the word "MIND" and a smiley face.
Authorities say to not approach Lewis, as he is considered armed and dangerous.
Lewis may have fled to the Portland, Oregon area. He is also wanted by Seattle Police, Federal Way Police and the FBI Task Force.
If you know where Lewis is, you can send an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS(8477) or through the P3 Tips App. A reward of up to $1,000 cash is being offered for information leading to Lewis' arrest.
