Welcome to Arrest Stories. A man wanted on a probation violation warrant was discovered by U.S. Marshals hiding under a child's bed during a Friday evening arrest operation in Spokane, Washington. Here's what may have happened.
U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force members surrounded a residence on South Regal Street off East Twenty-ninth Avenue at approximately five thirty p.m. on Friday. The operation targeted Keantray Davon Bryant-Muellner, who was wanted on an outstanding Washington State Department of Corrections Secretary's Arrest Warrant for violating his graduated re-entry probation sentence.
After establishing a perimeter around the home associated with Bryant-Muellner, law enforcement officers made several announcements before removing a glass sliding door from the residence to gain entry. Two uninvolved adults immediately exited the residence during the operation.
Officers then conducted a search of the home and found Bryant-Muellner attempting to conceal himself while hiding under a child's bed inside the residence. He was instructed to exit and peacefully surrendered to law enforcement without incident.
Bryant-Muellner was on probation stemming from April two thousand twenty-four charges that included unlawful firearm possession, possession of a stolen firearm, fourth-degree assault involving domestic violence, and escape from community custody. His arrest Friday was specifically for violating the terms of his graduated re-entry probation sentence.
Officials emphasized the collaborative nature of the arrest operation. One law enforcement spokesperson stated, "Last night's arrest reflects the strength of our partnerships and the teamwork among local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies. With gun violence continuing to plague Spokane, every violent offender arrested and every firearm taken off the street makes our communities safer."
The arrest concluded without injury to any parties involved, including the two uninvolved adults who were present at the residence during the operation.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
