Bellevue police officer on administrative leave following arrest

Redmond police arrested an off-duty Bellevue Police officer Thursday morning during a domestic disturbance involving a family member.  The 48-year-old officer was booked into jail for suspected crimes related to the domestic disturbance.

Rest in peace, K-9 Ozzy

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the death of K-9 Ozzy – [End of Watch]: 07/08/2020. The 6-year-old German Shepard suffered a heart attack during a dental cleaning.  K-9 Ozzy had been partners with Officer Ben Bradley since 2014.

“Ozzy was a loving, loyal, and brave member of the Bellevue Police Department.  At 110 pounds, he was a force to be reckoned with,” said Sgt. Robin Peacey. “He was also a loveable goofball, seeking attention from those he loved, and he did silly things to get it.”

Ozzie was brought over from Slovakia and quickly learned police work.  His first successful track netted three suspects detained for possession of a stolen vehicle in Newport Hills.   He honorably served the Bellevue community for five years.

“We lost an officer, a brother, and a member of our family,” said Chief Steve Mylett.  “Ozzy will be missed, and our prayers are with Officer Bradley, his family, and our entire K-9 family as they go through this difficult time.”

Residents’ video clips lead to looting arrests

Bellevue police have arrested 23 people connected with the looting and destruction in downtown Bellevue and have recovered more than $50,000 in merchandise.  Detectives have also identified nearly a hundred other suspects and are continuing those investigations.

The arrests stem from the riots in Bellevue on May 31, 2020. “That evening, we saw a coordinated attack on Bellevue businesses.  The criminals exploited protests over George Floyd’s homicide and used it as an opportunity to loot and destroy businesses,” Chief Steve Mylett said.

“Bellevue has seen many peaceful protests since Mr. Floyd’s death, and we welcome them all.  But the criminals who engaged in the violence are on notice; they won’t get away with it. We have dedicated extensive resources to investigate these crimes and will take as long as necessary to identify and arrest those responsible. I cannot emphasize it enough, the criminal behavior leading to these arrests has absolutely nothing to do with people raising their voices in opposition to Mr. Floyd’s death or demands to end systemic racism,” the Chief added.

Last Friday, Bellevue police served a warrant on a looting suspect in Renton.  A 26-year-old man, seen driving the red truck in the video, was arrested on charges of Burglary 2nd, Possession of Stolen Property, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Dangerous Weapons. Investigators recovered $19,000 worth of suspected stolen merchandise, alcohol, and tobacco products.  Detectives also confiscated an AK-47, a 10 mm Glock, stockpiles of ammunition, drugs, and cash.

Chief Mylett continued, “We are just beginning to make arrests in these cases.  The public has shared at least 10-thousand pieces of video and photographic evidence of the looting and violence. The public’s assistance has been a tremendous help. We will continue to work with our regional and federal partners to hold these individuals accountable.”
