SEATTLE - An Enumclaw resident was recently arrested in Seattle, after allegedly fighting with the man of the home he entered illegally and attempting to enter another home to elude police.
Johnathan Scott Hanshaw, who turns 32 in May, broke into a Flora Ave. S residence on March 27, according to probable cause documents.
One of the victims, Clinton Bergquist, told officers that he was upstairs with his 11 year-old son when he heard strange noises coming from downstairs. He initially thought it was his wife, but soon confirmed she was upstairs with them.
