Han initially refused to speak with police about the incident but later agreed to an interview. “Said that he was apologetic for what he had done and became remorseful during that interview. He was worried about the female that he had interaction with because he was concerned that he had hurt her. It’s a big relief to know that somebody like him is behind bars and I do believe that after speaking with him that he understands that what he did was wrong,” said Det. DeVore.
Han is Washington’s Most Wanted Capture #1101 thanks to tips from our viewers. He is scheduled to be formally arraigned in court on July 9, 2019.
WANTED IN YELM —
Yelm Police are asking for the public’s help to identify this robbery suspect who may be from the Tacoma area.
Detectives say on Sunday, May 26th, he entered the Park Place Shell station and attempted to purchase $10 worth of fuel. He presented what turned out to be a counterfeit $100 bill. When confronted about the bill and advised law enforcement was being called, he became agitated and walked behind the counter and got into a physical confrontation. He took the clerk’s cell phone and ran from the store.
“What he did was he changed the situation from a counterfeit situation to a Robbery 2,” said Yelm Police Det. Bill DeVore. “I’d love to catch this guy. I think he needs to understand that what he did is wrong. That he needs to stop providing the $100 counterfeit bills to other people, because they’re losing money. These businesses, which are family owned, are losing money and his reaction to it and what he did to the clerk is unnecessary and just something that needs to be dealt with.”
