'Bolt Bus' sex assault suspect: Accused of preying on woman during ride from Seattle to Bellingham
WANTED BY WASHINGTON STATE PATROL -- WSP detectives have released a really clear photo of a suspect they say groped a woman on a bus ride from Seattle to Bellingham. He got booted from the bus before troopers were called and could catch him, so they're hoping you can tell them his name. "This incident occurred March 24 and it happened on a 'Bolt Bus' coming up I-5,” says Washington State Trooper Mark Francis. “Our victim is sitting on the bus in her seat, he sits next to her, begins conversations. He's talking about personal stuff, where he's from and then at some point at different times he begins to inappropriately touch her and grope her and sexually assault her, it's happening a few times. Once they pull into Bellingham that's when she reports it, he's kicked off the bus. We obviously want him caught. If he's willing to do this on a packed bus, in broad daylight there's no telling what he's capable of."
