CHARGES IN JUNCTION STORE GUN THREAT: 20-year-old Chriss Arce, a Westwood resident, is now charged with assault for the incident last Friday that started inside West Seattle Computers. Court documents say the store’s owner asked him to leave after seeing him first checking his Facebook account on store computers and then seeing him open various merchandise boxes. The owner then followed him out of the store, concerned he would cause trouble elsewhere; that’s when, the court documents say, Arce turned around, demanded to know why he was being followed, and pulled out a gun. That’s when the owner called 911. Police eventually found Arce hiding in a yard-waste container in an alley a few blocks away, with a loaded 9 millimeter semi-automatic handgun. There were two arrest warrants out for him. He remains in King County Jail, in lieu of $10,000 bail.

BAIL UPPED FOR JUNCTION ASSAULT SUSPECT: One of two men arrested after two incidents in The Junction night before last – an assault on a Matador employee, and window-breaking at two businesses – is now jailed in lieu of $5,000 bail. 23-year-old Kyle Thornton of Burien pleaded not guilty today to misdemeanor charges of assault and obstructing a public officer. His next hearing is set for July 5th. His record includes a felony charge related to an attempt to rob the 16th/Roxbury Walgreens of oxycodone three years ago.
