Update: More charges, higher bail for vandalism suspect Ryan Cox

Thanks to “Born to be Mild” for catching this in the King County Jail Register database first: New information regarding bail and charges for Ryan Joshua Cox, arrested yesterday for the second time this year and accused of multiple instances of vandalizing West Seattle homes, businesses and public facilities, usually with a profane three-word anti-gay slur. The register now says he’s charged with 10 counts of property destruction, as well as graffiti and having a dangerous weapon – as police told us yesterday, they found a fixed-blade knife on him when he was arrested in The Junction. Bail is now up to $20,000. We’re looking for more details on the latest developments in the case and will add whatever more we find.

KOMO 4 news just reported that Ryan’s bail is $200,000 and that he is going to Western State Hospital for an evaluation. They also reported that his next court date Jan. 11.

No, it’s $20,000, not $200,000. I have that confirmed with the city attorney’s office and have rechecked the jail register. I also have the Western State evaluation detail but had not updated the story with that information yet. Thank you – TR

I was just stating what KOMO t.v. news reported.
I am positive that is what they said, they then also reported it was $20,000 per charge. I guess they were misreporting.

Prime reason why inbreeding is so wrong.

Ya know. Normally seeing a picture of a perpetrator makes me feel a little less anger over things like this. Putting a face to a name or action makes them seem a little more human and sometimes it dispells my anger… but this guys face just makes me mad.
