Bellingham Police asked for
the public’s help last week in locating a suspect responsible for the sexual
assault of a 25 year old Barista. On 8.25.12 at about 4:20 a.m, the victim was
working at Cruisin Coffee located in the 1000 block of Lakeway Drive when the
suspect entered the business and sexually assaulted her. The victim was able to
fight off the attacker who was last seen walking across Lakeway Drive.
Following the subject's arrest he was brought to the
Bellingham Police Department where he admitted to the crime. The suspect was
booked into Juvenile Detention for Attempted Rape 1st. The name of the suspect will not be released because he is a
juvenile. He was taken into custody at his Bellingham home without incident.
Bellingham Police Chief Todd G. Ramsay remarked “I know that
this incident shook our community. Thanks to the hard work of our Officers,
Detectives and our community, this suspect is no longer a threat.”
