Deputies and SWAT Team Coax Uncooperative Wanted Fugitive into Peacefully Surrendering
Spokane Valley Sheriff’s Deputies located a wanted fugitive at a residence and set a perimeter to prevent his escape. After several hours and with the assistance of the SWAT Team, the suspect came out of hiding and was arrested for his felony warrant and new charges.
On July 7, 2024, just before 8:30 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies were attempting to locate 40-year-old David P. Haynes, who had a felony, no bond warrant for charges of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm 1st Degree and Harassment, Threats to Kill. While conducting surveillance in the 7800 block of E. Glass Avenue, Deputies observed Haynes at the property, quickly moved in, and set a perimeter to prevent his escape.
An adult female who was with Haynes was contacted and detained. She was not cooperative, and a check of her name showed she was the protected person in a Domestic Violence No Contact Order, which prevented Haynes from contacting her. She was later released without being charged.
Deputies gave multiple announcements advising Haynes to show himself and peacefully surrender, but they went unanswered. With Haynes potentially barricaded in the house or somewhere on the property, the crimes charged on his warrant, and his local criminal history, the SWAT Team was requested to assist.
As SWAT began to arrive and implement their plan to locate and arrest Haynes safely, while announcements continued, Haynes decided to reveal his location, where he was hiding in the trunk of a vehicle. He was safely taken into custody at approximately 11:35 pm.
He was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for a new charge of Violation of a Domestic Violence Order of Protection and his felony, no bond warrant for Unlawful Possession of a Firearm 1st Degree and Harassment, Threats to Kill.
