Seth Sorrow Blackwolf, 49, currently of Chehalis, was charged with second-degree burglary, felony harassment and third-degree malicious mischief Thursday after he allegedly trespassed into a Chehalis gas station, threw items around and threatened to kill a female clerk.
Blackwolf faces up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines for the burglary charge. The felony harassment charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and $10,000 in fines. The malicious mischief charge is considered a misdemeanor.
The defendant was released from jail Aug. 15 after serving 24 days for a second-degree malicious mischief conviction. Blackwolf had been accused of damaging a neighbor’s vehicle and scratching a pentagram into its hood on July 22.
According to prosecutors, Blackwolf had no ties to Lewis County at the time of the first incident. During the court proceedings, Judge J. Andrew Toynbee ordered an evaluation at Western State Hospital, which found Blackwolf to be competent for trial. Blackwolf ultimately pleaded guilty to the malicious mischief offense. A criminal trespassing charge was dropped.
Just two weeks after his release, on Sept. 1, Blackwolf allegedly trespassed onto the property of the same individual who owned the vehicle Blackwolf had damaged. His presence violated a no contact order.
According to court documents, Blackwolf allegedly yelled "I went to f—cking jail" and screamed at the property owner and his roommate, before leaving.
After responding to the report, Chehalis police were then dispatched to a local gas station, where another report had been made of a man who entered the store, threatened a cashier and refused to leave.
“Instead, the male said something to the effect of ‘f-—ing b—’ to the female clerk,” and then began to “tear things up” in the store, according to court documents.
According to one of the employees, the man allegedly looked at the female employee before he left and said, "I'm going to kill you b—".
Officers reportedly chased the suspect as he was running along the “grassy area between the 1-5 northbound ramp and I-5,” but lost contact with him, according to court documents.
Police later identified Blackwolf from witness statements and surveillance footage provided by the property owner’s roommate, according to court documents.
He was eventually arrested and booked into jail.
Judge Toynbee set bail at $50,000 cash or bond during a preliminary hearing in Lewis County Superior Court on Sept. 4, citing allegations found in the probable cause document that raised concerns for public safety. The judge further noted that Blackwolf allegedly ran away from law enforcement, which posed a potential risk of failure to appear in court.
An arraignment is set for Sept. 11. Joseph Paul Enbody will represent Blackwolf. The defense attorney provided legal counsel for Blackwolf during his last criminal case.
