Bank robbery suspect in Spokane jail
A convicted pimp suspected of robbing nine banks in Oregon and Western Washington is in a Spokane jail. Kevin Antoine Jones, 23, was arrested in Pullman and appeared in U.S. District Court the following day. He's awaiting transport back to Seattle. Jones is charged with four counts of bank robbery for hold ups Oct. 16 at U.S. Bank in Tukwila and Wells Fargo in Des Moines, Oct. 18 at U.S. Bank in Seattle and Oct. 19 at Chase Bank in Des Moines. He's also suspected of robberies Nov. 5 at a U.S. Bank in Portland, and Nov. 6 at a U.S. Bank in Gresham, Bank of the West and Wells Fargo in Troutdale. Also suspected is Isaiah Jordan Summers, who is in custody. The two were arrested after a robbery at Columbia Bank in Milton, Wash, on Nov. 8. It's unclear why Jones was released from custody, but he was featured on "Washington's Most Wanted" TV show Feb. 25 and 26. A viewer's tip led to his arrest at an apartment in 1800 block of Northwest Lamont Drive in Pullman after a brief SWAT team standoff. Jones has prior convictions for promoting prostitution and gun possession, according to Washington's Most Wanted.
Man sentenced in fraudulent immigration scheme
A Mexican national living in Tukwila was sentenced to more than a year in prison for making fraudulent immigration documents. Rodolfo E. Ledesma-Flores, 33, was arrested last October after law enforcement agents found him with more than 50 fake documents, including driver's licenses, social security cards and "green cards." Police also found hundreds of blank documents and templates that suggested an ongoing criminal scheme, according to the Department of Justice. Ledesma-Flores will be deported back to Mexico when he's released from prison.
Fire at aquatics center
A fire at the Evergreen Community Aquatics Center caused a small amount of damage, and led to the facility being closed through the weekend. The fire broke out while the roof of the building was being repaired. North Highline firefighters were able to contain the fire to a small area, but had to cut a hole in the roof to help in the efforts to put the fire out. WhiteWater Aquatics, which operates the pool for the Highline Public Schools, says that the pool will be closed through the weekend as repairs to the roof are being made.
