CAN YOU ID?
At approximately 1:30 PM this afternoon an Officer attempted stop a reckless motorcyclist riding on a wheelie on N. 1st Street. The reckless motorcyclist also had a passenger on the back of the bike during the incident. The motorcyclist deliberately attempted to entice police officers to pursue him throughout the City of Yakima, Union Gap and eventually on the interstate westbound toward Ellensburg. The motorcyclist rode on city sidewalks, in oncoming lanes of travel, against traffic and rode at speeds in excess of 80-100 MPH in the City of Yakima. Officers remained professional and cautious as they attempted to contain the motorcyclist. Due to the extreme danger to the passenger and the public, a pursuit of the motorcyclist was not authorized, even in spite of the rider attempting to engage police in a pursuit.

NEWS RELEASE
YAKIMA POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE ARRESTED ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES
On June 9th, 2026, at approximately 7:00 PM, Yakima Police Officers were dispatched to a residence in the City of Yakima to a report of a domestic violence incident involving an intimate partner. It was quickly determined that one of the involved parties was employed as a Corrections Officer for the City of Yakima.
The on-duty Yakima Police Watch Commander contacted the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office and made a formal request for them to respond to conduct an independent investigation for the sake of transparency. The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office conducted a thorough investigation determining probable cause for the arrest of the City of Yakima corrections officer involved. He was placed under arrest and booked into the Kittitas County Jail for the charges of Domestic Violence Assault 4th Degree, Interfering with the Reporting of Domestic Violence and Unlawful Imprisonment.
The Yakima Police Department will be conducting an administrative investigation into the incident. The administrative investigation is separate from the criminal investigation underway by the Yakima Sheriff’s Office.

Because he's a corrections officer they won't put him in yakima jail for his own protection until the investigation is over & he is actually charged, he will have a court apirance, & depending on how serious the dv was they will go from there, he's only human just because he wears a badge don't make him perfect they can also break the law, they are just treated differently because of being in law enforcement
I'm surprised they're actually investigating. 40% of all law enforcement are reported domestic abusers
Well Daymn only a year since he was sworn into being an officer and he’s already catching 4th degree assault charge. Just because you wear a badge doesn’t give you anymore rights to break the law. Putting him in a different jail in different county doesn’t mean public can’t access or find out it just brings more curiosity as to who it was of course. Hope he quickly realizes what he’s doing isn’t okay & he needs to take domestic panel classes just like everyone else that’s been in this situation.
Domestic violence is never ok !!!
My ex worked there and he head butted me and broke my nose and he spanked my kids so hard he left hand prints on their bottoms. He got fired for excessive use of force and sexual misconduct with an inmate…🤷♀️
2 in about a week. Kittitas County, and Yakima, sheesh. And I think if I remember right, there was a cop from the west side that was arrested too.
Is anyone surprised? 🙄
Why am I not surprised😒
Say what you may, thank God, we don’t have the same job they have. Go through each day, day in and day out, dealing with the problems and people they do. I’m not justifying, just being realistic.
Why was he booked to kittitas?

Another one bites the dust! Get em! 1 down for Kittitas county sherrif and 1 Yakima county.
Who was it? They say the names of the parties evolved unless under 18.
😬
Yes domestic violence is a problem, it's not just men either women can be abusive too. It doesn't matter what color your shirt is, this is a serious problem. Not all cops are bad but the ones who are, make the police look retarded. Lots of problems with society everyone against everyone and the best man win kind of attitude. You're not better than them they just got caught. There's lots of police incidents that they get away with. Just recently a police officer went to board a plane with an unclaimed gun yet he's not in trouble but let even a civilian with a concealed weapons permit, watch him go to jail while the cops given a go ahead. This is another problem people see the police getting away with things a normal person would be locked up, fined or all of it So when people witness this they see it as pereferatable treatment. When police won't investigate crimes with evidence then the cops get a break this is a problem.
Carol Fern Ford they chose the job they have. If they can't handle it then that's NOT the job for them. There is NEVER any excuse for abusing someone you are supposed to care about. Or anyone else for that matter. Their job as part of law enforcement should make them MORE accountable. They see the worst of people. So they think they will get away with it? And to make others have to arrest them. I feel worse for the 1s that have to do that. Never easy to arrest someone you know is a part of what you do or what you stand for. Others have jobs just as stressful (emergency room workers & other 1st responders) and have to go home and deal with what they went through. They don't go home and think I'm going to abuse someone. Your way of thinking then have to say not justifying but they have a stressful job is wrong.
Good there are been many times where the offender got away with it bc they were employed by the county
Yamilex Chavez Can’t wait to see who this corrections officer is 🫢
How is posting this a part of innocent until proven guilty? What if it’s all hear say and the. You smear his name and his position.
Too bad and sad that the officer did not use better judgement. If they are found guilty they will have just sunk their career for something they would have arrested someone else for doing , very unfortunate 🫤
This is insane. What’s up with the police these days. There was just a sheriff from Ellensburg that got booked in the yak jail for bar fighting.
Domestic violence..Dont Discriminate.. We all connect with that tree of violence..
The one behind bars needs a 'likely to reoffend' exam...
Listening to all these post! Where's this same energy, when they attack or kill someone. It's like everyone on the cops side. But a DV, yall all screaming hang the man! Confused .....

They passed us between nob hill and valley mall boulevard exit. Weaving between cars and the medium.
Bike got some real good traction on that rear wheel, probably hard not to wheelie.
Damn son ...my hero
I saw them WB on 82 at the Kittitas County line as I was heading home (also at a high rate of speed). It was probably 1400-1430ish. I know it’s not much help, but I did see them.
Flock cameras should help, this is why we need them
They just passed me on University Ave in Ellensburg! 3:35ish….
