#BREAKING: District 1 #Seattle Councilmember @Lisa_Herbold says she will not be running for re-election in 2023. Her team just sent out this statement with her news letter.
OUR LAST ENCOUNTER: This past September, I asked @Lisa_Herbold if she was going to run again for her District 1 seat. I had a sense she was having second thoughts. She is currently Chair of the Public Safety committee as well. #Seattle
LISA HERBOLD ALWAYS ON THE MOVE: I ran into the District 1 Councilmember this past April. As Chair of Public Safety and Human Services Committee, I wanted her take on the city's homeless crisis as well. #Seattle
But she will also be remembered by her critics for being one of several @SeattleCouncil members who pledged to defund Seattle Police. #Seattle
NOT SO MEMORABLE MOMENTS: Back in 2020, same Lisa Herbold who pledged to defund SPD, violated city code after she texted police chief about RV in front of her house. She thought it was part of political stunt. Herbold agreed to pay fine. #Seattle seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…
HERBOLD VOTES TO DEFUND SPD: Lisa Herbold takes this final shot at SPD.
LATEST UPDATE: What an ordeal for @KatieDaviscourt. She's ok, but mad as hell. She wanted me to get the word out since she still does not have a phone! @RentonpdWA must find this FAR LEFT militant who robbed her. Entire region needs to stop putting up with this ANTIFA violence.
SPEECHLESS: This is a new low. There is a code among journalists to get each other’s backs in the field. But this @KING5Seattle photog does not even allow @KatieDaviscourt to use his phone to call 911, while the FAR LEFT/ANTIFA loser mocks Katie. Unreal.
STUNNING LACK OF ACTION: @KatieDaviscourt said no other reporter or photog from #Seattle’s mainstream media core today helped her call 911 after the ANTIFA assault and robbery.
LASTEST ON GRAFFITI ARRESTS: King Co. Prosecuting Attorney's Office says Casey Cain and Jose G. Betancourth have criminal histories. Sources also say Bethancourth used "SATAN/SATN" tag. Some were next to EAGR/EAGER. Massive win for @MayorofSeattle and @SeattlePD#Seattle
WASHINGTON'S MOST WANTED LIST: Authorities say Betancourth, aka SATAN, also has ties to Yakima, WA.
The accused prolific tagger was also wanted on a $750K warrant for some serious stuff. #Seattle
SHOWCASING WORK: Betancourth is very open about hyping his work on social media. Chinatown-ID and downtown #Seattle seemed to be his favorite canvas. @MayorofSeattle
#BREAKING: More details! Court documents show 2 suspects were arrested today in EAGR/EAGER tagging case and now facing FELONY level malicious mischief charges. @SeattlePD arrested them at 1208 Pine St in #Seattle, allegedly caught them in act. Big win for @MayorofSeattle.🧵👇🏽
SUSPECT #1: Police say 36 year old Casey Cain admitted to tagging the wall of building today with “EAGER.” Report shows he also has a tattoo on him that says “EAGER.” Arrested for felony malicious mischief. Judge set $10K bail. #Seattle
SUSPECT #2: Police say 37 year old Jose G. Betancourth was arrested at scene and facing felony malicious mischief charge. Judge set bail at $10k. He also has a $750k felony arrest warrant for another incident. He claims to be a mural painter. #Seattle
VANDALISM CHARGES: I just missed EAGR/EAGER in court today for first appearance. But officials say judge is holding prolific tagger on $10K bail. I am waiting on charging docs. King County Prosecuting Attorney’s office bringing FELONY level graffiti/vandalism charges. #Seattle
PROLIFIC TAGGER: As I left court today, I passed through Jackson St. in #Seattle's Chinatown-ID. EAGR/EAGER's handiwork is still everywhere. Who knows, maybe it's just one dude or a team of taggers doing this. Bottom line, someone was allegedly caught in the act by police.
SO BRAZEN: Authorities say EAGR/EAGER was caught in act. This notorious vandal is part of 3A/BTM crew. MASSIVE win for @MayorofSeattle's WAR AGAINST GRAFFITI.
Earlier this summer, look what happened to @SeattlePD mobile precinct in downtown #Seattle.
#BREAKING: Multiple sources say NOTORIOUS street tagger EAGR/EAGGER was arrested today by @SeattlePD. Vandal was caught in act and is part of city's 3A/BTM crew. MASSIVE win for @MayorofSeattle's WAR AGAINST GRAFFITI. More details to come. 🧵👇🏽 #Seattle
WAR ON GRAFFITI: Will prosecutor+judge do their part against EAGR/EAGGER? Last month @MayorofSeattle doubled down on WAR ON GRAFFITI. Then a massive mural went up mocking the Mayor. Unclear who's behind it. But recently, others tagged over it.#Seattle
@MayorofSeattle CONFIRMED: Eagr/Eager case is being sent over to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for felony level charges. @MayorofSeattle
Back in the summer, Eagr/EAGER tagged up the @SeattlePD mobile precinct. Brazen. #Seattle
