King County prosecutors have charged a 14-year-old Renton boy — who was arrested for threats against two Renton schools — in a separate felony robbery case.<\/p>\n
King County prosecutors filed a charge of second-degree robbery against the 14-year-old on Dec. 20, 2023.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, the 14-year-old suspect stole a backpack from a Nelsen Middle School student in an armed robbery incident involving multiple suspects.<\/p>\n
According to Casey McNerthney, director of communications for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Renton police arrested the same 14-year-old boy on Dec. 15 for two incidents involving threats of violence against two Renton School District schools.<\/p>\n
The threats resulted in the shutdown of three Renton campuses on Dec. 15 after a prank phone call alleged there was a firearms threat targeted Nelsen Middle School, and online threats targeted both Nelsen and Renton High School the day prior, Dec. 14.<\/p>\n
According to the Renton Police Department, Valley SWAT served a warrant and arrested the teenager the morning of Dec. 15 after Renton investigators located and identified the suspect.<\/p>\n
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Nelsen Middle School expelled the 14-year-old boy in 2022 and he “continues to return to the school and cause problems.”<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, the victim of the robbery incident, a Nelsen Middle School student, identified the 14-year-old suspect to police after a group of “many” juvenile suspects pulled up alongside him as he walked home from school.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, the suspects, armed with firearms, pushed the victim to the ground and stole his backpack.<\/p>\n
