West Seattle Crime Watch: Skyelar Hailey search continues

To recap, police continue looking for 18-year-old Skyelar Hailey, a convicted burglar and repeat offender who they tried to stop last night to arrest on outstanding warrants — he ran off, with a car and motorcycle getting damaged in the process; a helicopter and K-9 team joined the search (WSB as-it-happened coverage here) but he got away. One commenter in our previous report says police are showing his mug shot to area residents. Seattle Police so far have denied our requests for that mug shot (as explained in this morning’s report), but we have received several unofficial photos, including the one at left, and links to what’s on a MySpace page now as well as an old school photo. We also are told the warrants for his arrest are for two counts of theft and violating a domestic-violence protection order; the car he was driving last night, which we are told belongs to a friend of his, is a maroon 1991 Honda Accord. As for any additional description – 6’2″ or taller, and about 180 pounds, with a gap between his front teeth. If you have any information on his whereabouts, police want to hear from you immediately (911 is probably your best bet in this case).

I’ll keep hunting for additional photos. This kid has a distinctly equine face, Very long from eyebrows to upper lip. Very lanky as described.

Did he steal the car from his friends or did they let him take it? Hopefully they are being questioned by SPD to help find him.

Getting tired of hearing about the things people like this guy are doing. He’s been at it for a long time, does not sound like he has any respect for anyone or anything.
