Issaquah Police Seek Help in Identifying Robbery Suspect

The man and an accomplice forced their way into an Issaquah woman's home, where he assaulted her as the two ransacked the home, possibly in search of narcotic medications.

Issaquah Police are asking for the public's help to identify a man suspected of "stomping" on an Issaquah woman's face in the course of a robbery Wednesday.

The man who attacked the woman is described by police as a white man, about 30 years old, 5'10" and weighing about 200 pounds. He has unfinished 'full-sleeve' tattoos on each arm. On one arm, unknown which, the suspect had an unfinished front facing skull on the top of the forearm and a tattoo of a woman, similar to what you might see on 18-wheel truck mud flaps on the inside of the same forearm. At the time of the attack, he was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, worn low, and white Converse Shoes. 

On Wednesday, May 16, at about noon, two men forced their way into an Issaquah woman's apartment and assaulted her, according to an Issaquah Police Department news release.
