Kent Police arrested a Des Moines man Tuesday in connection with an April 8 robbery and stabbing of a Kent motel clerk.<\/p>\n
Shannon D. Hill, 37, was arrested for investigation of first-degree attempted robbery, according to a Kent Police media release.<\/p>\n
Detectives used several tips from residents to help track down Hill, who was taken into custody outside a Kent store near Pacific Highway South.<\/p>\n
The state had issued an arrest warrant for Hill after King County prosecutors on April 30 filed a charge of first-degree attempted robbery against him in connection with the incident against the clerk, a 41-year-old Kent woman. The woman spent two days in the hospital after she sustained stab wounds in the leg and back.<\/p>\n
The motel\u2019s video-surveillance cameras recorded the entire incident. The video included a shot of the man\u2019s face before he put his bandana back on. The clerk had pulled off the bandana during a struggle after her assailant demanded cash and brandished a large, butcher-style knife. The motel is in the 1700 block of West Meeker Street.<\/p>\n
Police received several tips from people who saw the videotape of the incident on Seattle television stations.<\/p>\n
Hill is being held without bail at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. As of Wednesday, an arraignment date had yet to be scheduled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a serious and important case involving a violent suspect,\u201d said Kent Police Chief Steve Strachan in a media release. \u201cOur officers worked tenaciously to get him in custody, and we deeply appreciate the assistance of the media in this positive outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
