Hilltop Crip charged with raping cellmate in Pierce County Jail
02/09/2011 TACOMA, WA-- A man recently convicted of two felonies in connection with the Hilltop Crips crackdown now faces allegations he raped a man in the Pierce County Jail. Prosecutors last month charged Andre L. Bonds, 38, with three counts of second-degree rape. Not guilty pleas were entered on Bonds' behalf at his arraignment this afternoon. A man who shared a cell with Bonds in May told police the defendant sexually assaulted him three times. Bonds, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall and 230 pounds, threatened to beat the man if he resisted, court records state. "The defendant told (the man) that if he yelled or said anything he would break his neck," court records show. The alleged victim is about 6 feet tall and 160 pounds. In a letter to jail staff, Bonds denied attacking the man. He wrote he "practically grew up in this jail and being sexually involved with another man is totally out of the question for me," court records show. A state forensic scientist found some biological evidence on the alleged victim's clothing, the records show. Further tests are pending on that evidence. At the time of the alleged rapes, Bonds was in jail awaiting trial on charges brought against him as part of a law enforcement crackdown on the Hilltop Crips, one of Tacoma's oldest street gangs. He eventually pleaded guilty to riot and conspiracy to commit drive-by shooting in that case and was sentenced to five years in prison. That sentence is running concurrently with a 23-year sentence he received in 2009 for a first-degree assault conviction. that nigga is a OG from the hill but damn thats some gay ass shit.lol

SOUTHEND TEEN BEAT WOMAN IN ROBBERY
SEATTLE-- A 15-year-old who is a three-time felon has been charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree unlawful firearm possession after Seattle police say he and another teen robbed a young woman in Columbia City.
Investigators got break in the case after they say the suspect dropped his cell phone at the scene and someone called the phone asking for him by name.
An officer recognized the name of that suspect, who police say also had his photograph as the cell phone's wallpaper.
That teen, who also has three gross misdemeanor convictions, is a self-proclaimed member of the Down Wit' the Crew and Dale Blocc gang, according to court documents.
The teen pleaded not guilty last week and is next expected in juvenile court Thursday. Seattlepi.com does not typically name suspects until they're charged as adults.
The most recently case happened about 8:15 p.m. Feb. 14 near Rainier Avenue South and South Edmunds Street. The 15-year-old and a 21-year-old, who police say is a Holly Park gang member, allegedly struggled with the woman as they tried to grab her purse.
The woman "would not give release her grip so one of the males struck her repeatedly causing a cut and swelling to her right cheek and pain and swelling to the top of her head," Detective Robert Thomas wrote in a probable cause document.
But it was in that struggle, police believe, that the 15-year-old dropped his cell phone. It rang when the first responding officer was at the scene. Police searched for the teen that night, but didn't find him until the afternoon of Feb. 17 when a detective saw him walking on Rainier Avenue South near South Director Street. He allegedly admitted to having a gun in his waistband -- a black .380-caliber Lorcin.
In a recorded statement at the South Precinct, the teen allegedly admitted to planning the robbery with the 21-year-old and waiting for the victim in the alley. He allegedly said the gun in his waistband was the one used in the robbery.
But the 15-year-old claimed it was the other suspect who was armed, tried to take the woman's purse and pistol-whipped her. He also claimed that 21-year-old offered him $70 for his part in the incident.
Thomas, however, wrote that the 15-year's description of what he and the other suspect were wearing is different from the victim's description of what the suspect's were wearing and what happened.
The 21-year-old was arrested and was released from jail Feb. 25.
The 15-year-old's previous felonies are for second-degree robbery, taking a motor vehicle without permission, and a threat to kill, according to court documents. His gross misdemeanor convictions include assault and vehicle prowling.
Down Wit' The Crew is a Seattle gang known for previous violent incidents and a feud last fall with the 44 Holly Hoover Crips, another local gang.
The 15-year-old's felony convictions don't count as strikes under Washington's three-strikes law. People can get a strike if they're under 18, but the offender has to be charged as an adult.

Guilty plea in slaying of Seattle gang leader
MARCH 7th, 2011--
On the eve of trial, a purported gang member alleged to have killed 24-year-old Tyree E. Lee during a Central District gang rivalry has pleaded guilty to murder.
Changing his plea Monday, Jymaika S. Hutson admitted to killing Lee in 2007. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and will likely be sentenced to 14 ½ years in prison.
Lee, regarded by law enforcement as a member of a Central District street gang, was shot to death outside a friend's home on an April evening in 2007. King County prosecutors contended Hutson killed Lee in part because he believed Lee had shot him months before.
Speaking Tuesday, Hutson's defense attorney James Womack said there was no evidence that his client was involved in a gang at the time of the shooting, and pointed out that Hutson has not admitted to any motive in the shooting.
Womack also noted that much of the prosecution's case rested on a single witness, Gilbert Kinney, who drove Hutson to and from the shooting seen, and may have provided the murder weapon.
On April 28, 2007, officers were called to the 2600 block of East Alder Street following a report of shots.
Police arrived to find Lee had been shot multiple times in the back, torso and legs. He died later that evening at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Witnesses to the shooting told police a white Chevrolet SUV had pulled up as Lee was walking to a friend's home. A passenger, Hutson, got out of the vehicle, drew a pistol and fired at least eight shots at Lee.
One witness told police he heard what would be some of Lee's last words.
"Hey man, I don't have a beef with you," Lee told Hutson, according to the witness.
Hutson then gunned him down.
Police were able to trace the car to Kinney, Hutson's co-defendant, who'd previously pleaded guilty to rendering criminal assistance.
Speaking with investigators, Kinney ultimately admitted to following Lee's car at Hutson's request. He said he had no idea Hutson planned to kill Lee, and admitted that Hutson used his pistol in the shooting.
Hutson -- said by law enforcement to be member of Deuce 8, a Central District street gang -- had been seen arguing with Lee at Barnett Park shortly before the shooting.
That afternoon, Lee was joined at the park by several men alleged to be involved in Seattle gangs, including Thomas Callandret, a suspect in the Nov. 23, 2008 slaying of Nathaniel Lee Thomas at Vito's Madison Grill currently serving time in federal prison for drug crimes.
Womack noted that Kinney had long denied having any role in the slaying, and that other witnesses expected to testify at trial had credibility problems.
"There was a lot of discovery in this case, and a lot of conflicting stories," Womack said. "We were going to hammer the state on the credibility of those witnesses."
Police initially interviewed Hutson five days after the shooting. He denied any involvement in Lee's death; nearly three years passed before prosecutors were able to bring charges against him.
In the prosecution's view, the killing was essentially revenge for an earlier attack Hutson blamed on Lee. Hutson was shot in the face with a shotgun by parties as yet unidentified.
Prosecutors were prepared to contend that rivalries between Hutson's gang and Lee's Low Profiles -- a breakaway set of Deuce 8 -- played a part in the shooting, a contention disputed by Hutson's attorney.
That rivalry dates to the slaying of another Seattle man, Deuce 8 leader Terrell Milam.
Milam was widely believed to have injured then-Seahawks defensive back Ken Hamlin in a bar brawl in October 2005. He was shot to death not long afterward by Omar A. Norman, a Low Profile gang member currently serving a 52-year prison term for Milam's murder.
That killing was followed by years of gang shootings and slayings, including the drive-by shooting that saw Hutson shot in the face.
Writing the court, Senior Deputy Prosecutor John B. Castleton noted that Hutson was responding both to his own shooting and Milam's when he killed Lee.
"The defendant admitted to shooting Lee as retaliation for Milam's death," Castleton told the court. "This type of 'payback' is simply part of the gang culture and was just one more incident in the ongoing LP/Deuce 8 feud."
In the run-up to trial, prosecutors asked that Hutson's defense attorney not be allowed to tell jurors that one key witness -- Seattle Detective Shandy Cobane -- was caught on camera threatening an arrestee. For his part, Womack said he had no intention of doing so unless the detective made claims from the witness stand contradicted by his actions during that violent, unwarranted arrest.
Cobane was heard on video threatening to "beat the (expletive) Mexican piss" out of the man, who was complying with police commands and, it turned out, was not a suspect in the crime police were investigating. Cobane has since been reassigned from the gang unit.
Having pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, second-degree murder, Hutson is expected to be sentenced April 15 in King County Superior Court. He remains jailed.

Why do u always bring up Yakima? My question was about Tacoma & Seattle. And regardless what you think, Yakima has been gang banging almost as long as Seattle/Tacoma. Surenos and Nortenos have been going at it in Yakima since the early 1990's.

DWTC member charged with shooting in S. Seattle
SEATTLE, WA-- Prosecutors have charged 18-year-old Bronzell Jerome Bright with assault and unlawful possession of a firearm following an apparent gang-related shooting in South Seattle last week.
According to court records, witnesses at the scene of the March 16th shooting told police Bright and a woman in a LeBaron pulled up on 51st Ave and S Fletcher St in a Chrysler LeBaron around 4:15pm. Bright got out of the driver's side, and yelled "D-Dub, Five-Trey"—a reference to the Down Wit the Crew gang—at an 18-year-old man on the street.
Bright then allegedly pulled out a black handgun, shoved it in the victim's face, and threatened to shoot him.
Charging documents say Bright fired three times, got back in the LeBaron with the woman, and drove off.
Minutes later, officers spotted the LeBaron speeding south on Renton Ave S.
One officer followed it down side streets and through an alley, until Bright crashed his vehicle into a metal shed.
Bright took off running, carrying a handgun, and officers Chased after bright on foot.
Bright then tossed the gun, and surrendered to officers.
Police recovered a Makarov .380 semi-automatic pistol not far from where they arrested Bright.
When detectives later interviewed Bright, he said he had fled from officers because he does not have a driver's license, and is on probation. He also told police he had purchased his handgun "on the street" for $200.
Bright also admitted he knew the victim of the shooting—whose street name is "Greedy," according to court records—but denied shooting him.
Court records say Bright has previously been involved in a burglary, gun theft, and unlawful possession of a firearm case.

Seattle Police say Down Wit' The Crew members are battling Crip gang members, and violence between them has continued since last fall. And the gang problems in Yakima and Grant counties are even more severe.
"We have a public safety emergency in a number of communities and they desperately need help," state Attorney General Rob McKenna said Thursday from Yakima, where he went on a ride-along with gang investigators. "They can't do this by themselves."
