NEW: Bellevue's Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus continues to be a cancer on the community.
On Sunday, a non-verbal Plymouth resident allegedly made terroristic threats.
He scribbled on the wall that he would shoot staff with a pistol and held a weapon in his hand.🧵👇

Cops later determined the "weapon" was actually a lighter. They arrested him on the spot.
Witnesses say the man is Merrell James Gorham and is wheelchair bound. He is known for spitting and kicking people. He's also been trespassed at numerous area businesses. @PlymouthHousing

@PlymouthHousing This Bellevue homeless campus in the Eastgate neighborhood has turned into one of the most problematic hotspots in the city. It leads the entire city in 911 calls.
A homeless murder suspect with ties to Porchlight is still on the loose. @PorchLightCares

@PlymouthHousing @PorchLightCares This Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus has also been home to multiple felons, including a man with 57 arrests. This place needs more media attention.

@PlymouthHousing @PorchLightCares Fentanyl drug overdoses are also a common occurrence on this campus.

@PlymouthHousing @PorchLightCares Due to growing community pressure, the leaders at Porchlight are finally acknowledging some of the issues.

@PlymouthHousing @PorchLightCares Porchlight has also been slammed for hiring retreads and problematic people who have been fired from the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
