(WSB photo, September 12)By Tracy RecordWest Seattle Blog editorThe driver accused of trying repeatedly to run down a pedestrian in West Seattle – until an off-duty police captain intervened – is charged with felony assault.
We learned later that the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office had argued for $100,000 bail, but a judge granted personal recognizance.
Five days after the incident, KCPAO charged Sloboda with second-degree assault, a felony.
The Prius then made a circle and drove onto the sidewalk again attempting to hit the victim a second time but missed again.
The suspect then exited his vehicle, screamed at the SPD Captain, and then ran North on Fauntleroy Way SW.Patrol officers caught up with him shortly thereafter.
