West Seattle Crime Watch followup: One charge against man arrested near Sealth

Almost one month after a Highland Park man was arrested following a report he was masturbating in his van a block from Chief Sealth International High School, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has filed a charge against him. 34-year-old Danen Romine is charged with one count of indecent exposure. KCPAO spokesperson Dan Donohoe says that was the one and only case referred to them for consideration of charges. You might remember that Romine was originally facing a Seattle Municipal Court charge, but then the city realized it was not empowered to prosecute indecent-exposure cases until this month. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is asking for $30,000 bail in the case; Romine is scheduled for arraignment on November 27th.

Perhaps something more than that charge should’ve taken place. Seems we’ve not heard of ONE incident of flashing since he was arrested. Hmm,seems fishy to me. Im sure he’s keeping a very low profile now that is wife knows.

So then streetracer, what would you do if you see “that van”? Does that mean his wife is not allowed to drive the kids around in the family van anymore? Use your noggin!

One thing I will also point out is that the BOND is $30,000; the bail is $3,000.
