On January 6, 2023 SPD officers arrested Shayne J. Winston (20) and Devin K.

VCTF arrested Winston for 3 counts of unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and 2^nd degree theft.

Robinson was arrested for money laundering, forgery and leading organized crime. 

Both were booked into the Spokane County Jail where they currently remain.  Winston is being held on a $1,000,000 bond and Robinson on a $5,000 bond.  

The Violent Crimes Task Force continues its focus on removing prolific and violent offenders from the streets. Since becoming operational in June of last year, the VCTF has successfully taken into custody more than 45 individuals identified as violent offenders, who were actively wanted for crimes ranging from drive by shooting, first degree assault and murder. The VCTF works in cooperation with the Spokane Police Departments investigative and tactical units as well as our federal partners in the pursuit of violent criminal offenders.
