John Morris – Morris, 28, of Port Angeles, was charged Oct. 20 with one count of assault in the third degree, a charge related to the assault of a law enforcement officer, one count of resisting arrest and one count of malicious mischief in the third degree, causing property damage at $50 or less. On Oct. 19, Sequim Police initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle without a rear license plate light. After the officer stopped the vehicle, he noticed it not only was missing the light, but the license plate entirely, according to the court report. The officer reported smelling intoxicants from the vehicle and that Morris, the driver, admitted to having had a couple of drinks. The officer also reported that Morris refused to submit to a sobriety test, which is why he was arrested for driving under the influence. But when asked to exit the vehicle, Morris refused to cooperate with the officer and physically resisted being taken from the vehicle and physically assaulted the officers when they were arresting him. After being put into handcuffs, Morris allegedly repeatedly hit the handcuffs against the patrol car, damaging the cuffs and making them no longer operable.

Jonathan Sampson – Sampson, 32, of Sequim, was charged Oct. 17 with one count of burglary in the first degree, one count of assault in the fourth degree, a charge related to domestic violence, one count of intimidating a witness, one count of residential burglary and two counts of harassment. Sampson also had been charged in July with burglary and assault. The charge came from an allegation that Sampson forced his way into his estranged wife’s apartment in July, grabbed her by the hair and struck her in the head and face several times. But the charges were dismissed Oct. 16 because the victim did not appear in court to testify. On Oct. 17, Sampson allegedly forced his way into the woman’s home again and made threats to kill her and their three children. He left when he realized she had called the police. When officers arrived, she said she did not show up in court to be a witness because he had threatened her and her children based on the pending testimony. After officers left the residence, Sampson allegedly returned. Police responded to the home a second time and arrested him. Sampson denied any altercation, indicating he came to the house to reconcile with his wife.
