Rape arrest: A 20-year-old south Everett man was being held on $100,000 bail following the beating and rape of a woman who works as a dancer for an escort service, the Snohomish County prosecutor’s office said Tuesday.
Beau Michael Standon was charged Tuesday with one count of first-degree rape. He told Snohomish County sheriff investigators he was "strung out" on drugs, wanted sex and "I wasn’t gonna (sic) pay for it," according to court documents.
Standon called the escort service and asked the woman to meet him at a home in Lynnwood about 6 a.m. on Jan. 30. She told a bodyguard who drove her there that he could leave before accompanying Standon on to the porch of the house, documents say.
Just after they got inside, the suspect allegedly struck her in the head several times with a heavy frying pan, documents say.
He then told her to disrobe and assaulted her, charging documents say.
When he was done, Standon copied down her name and address and told her he would kill her daughter if she reported the incident, charging papers say.
He drove away, and the victim called her bodyguard, who took her to a hospital for treatment.
Burned baby: An 8-month-old baby boy was burned over 10 percent of his body when he fell against a heater at his home. He was listed in satisfactory condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The boy was burned accidentally, according to Everett police detectives who investigated the incident Sunday at the Everett Country Club Apartments. But the boy and two other children in the apartment were placed in protective custody with state Child Protective Services staff because investigators had concerns over the level of care and conditions in the home, Everett Police Sgt. Boyd Bryant said.
The incident occurred at 8:20 a.m. Sunday. The boy fell on a heater and suffered burns on his face, arms and chest. He was upgraded Monday from serious to satisfactory condition, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson said.
Shoplifter arrested: A 39-year-old Seattle man was arrested Tuesday night after he allegedly hit a store clerk four times during a dispute over the potential shoplift of Snickers and Skittles candies, Everett Police Lt. Greg Lineberry said.
The man was buying a can of beer and a bottle of orange-flavored fortified wine when the clerk questioned him over shoplifting. The 7:30 p.m. scuffle left the clerk shaken and with a cut lip and swollen eye, Lineberry said. No emergency treatment was required, he said.
The Seattle man was arrested on investigation of assault a few blocks away in the 3000 block of Colby Avenue after a witness used a cell phone to call 911.
Marysville
Inmate death: A 37-year-old man was found dead in the Marysville jail Tuesday about five hours after being locked up on a misdemeanor charge.
The Marysville man was combative when arrested and was placed in a holding cell alone because he was uncooperative, Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said.
The man’s name was being withheld pending notification of relatives. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office is investigating his death.
Police arrested the man at the Marysville Mall parking lot at 9:45 p.m. on Monday on investigation of malicious mischief after he allegedly vandalized a pay phone, Lamoureux said.
The officers who confronted the man were concerned that he was under the influence of some substance because of his behavior, Lamoureux said. The officers had no reason to believe the man needed special monitoring, he said.
Jail policy requires corrections officer to check on inmates every 45 minutes, and the man was found during a routine check, Lamoureux said.
The death is the first at the jail on Grove Street, which opened in 1987, Lamoureux said. There were two suicides in the city’s previous jail.
