WANTED BY DOC IN KING COUNTY —
Convicted felon Syres Stiles aka ‘Reese Lamichael Smith’ is wanted by the Department of Corrections for Escape after fleeing from officers without his pants and shoes.
“Stiles is on supervision for a California case for Robbery 2nd degree and Commercial Burglary, where he and three other accomplices stole about $60,000 worth of items from several retail stores over the course of a couple weeks that involved a crime spree all over California, Oregon, and Washington state,” says DOC Ofc. Emily Isaacs. “He was living here in Washington state, so his supervision was transferred up her. He’s since absconded from supervision. When officers tried to take him into custody this most recent time, he fought them and ended up running out of the Department of Corrections office with no pants or shoes on. This is an individual who’s on the run, has a criminal history and we need your help to get him in custody now.”
He’s also wanted in King County on a $100,000 warrant for Robbery 1st.
In that case, Stiles and another suspect are accused of luring a victim to south Seattle under the false pretense that they were going to purchase shoes from the victim in September. DOC officers say Stiles did not know the victim. When the victim arrived at the location to purchase the shoes, the two suspects took the shoes without giving the victim the agreed upon price for the shoes. DOC officers say the victim tried to get his shoes back, but was punched repeatedly and eventually had a gun pointed at him. While attempting to get his shoes back, the victim was drug a short distance by the vehicle Stiles was in. Once the gun came into play, DOC officers say the victim decided the shoes were not worth it and let go, falling to the ground as the vehicle sped away.
Stiles is 6’04” 268 pounds. If you know where he’s hiding, submit the information anonymously via the P3 Tips App or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. There is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest.
