Update:

On March 13, 2020 Officers from the Spokane Police Department responded to the apartments at 1935 N Holy Names Ct. A press release was sent out earlier in the day asking for the public’s help in locating Charles Washington. He was wanted in connection to a violent, Domestic Violence incident the previous night. Within a very short time of the press release being sent out, an alert citizen called in saying that they saw Washington at the apartment complex.

Officers responded to the location and surrounded the apartment. On duty SWAT Officers responded to assist due to Washington’s violent history and potentially being armed. Washington eventually walked out of the apartment and cooperated. He was booked into jail for charges related to the assault the previous night. He also had a felony warrant for his arrest for vehicular assault.
