King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn, joined by Sheriff Sue Rahr, the Prosecuting Attorney's Office and Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, last week unveiled the first "Meth Watch."

Meth Watch will profile individuals wanted by law enforcement for a meth-based crime in King County.

The first Meth Watch profile is James C. Bradley of Burien.

Bradley is wanted by the sheriff for possession of meth, intent to manufacture methamphetamine and failure to appear in court.

"We hope that by shining a bright media spotlight on particular criminals we can get them off the street and send a message to others," said Dunn, who was a federal prosecutor before being appointed to the King County Council.

"We want this suspect and the other meth dealers who prey on our community behind bars.

"Bradley's last known location was Burien. If he's still in King County, I am hoping that we'll have him out of our neighborhood and in the county jail," Dunn declared.

"This is a good day for our communities and a bad day for Mr. Bradley."

Meth Watch is a cooperative program between county law enforcement officials and local media targeting meth-related crime in King County.

On the first and third Thursday of each month, a new Meth Watch profile will be issued. The profile will be distributed to local television, radio, newspaper and web-based media. Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound will host the 1-800-CRIME-13 hotline for citizens who have information.

Bradley is actually the second person to be profiled through the Meth Watch Program.

The initial suspect that was to be introduced - Kraig Roger Granacki, who was wanted for the manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of a stolen handgun and failure to appear in court - was arrested the night before the press conference.

Meth Watch profiles are available at Dunn's King County Council web site, www.metrokc.gov/dunn.

"We believe this combined initiative between the media, the community and law enforcement will further send a message to those who do not heed our warning," said Ron Conlin, President of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

"Our area will not allow safe haven for the criminal element that chooses to be involved in the Meth trade-we will seek them out and they will be incarcerated."

"Meth Watch has identified an individual in our neighborhood that is responsible for a meth-related crime," said Dunn. "Now we need the citizens to get involved and tell us where Bradley is hiding."

James Bradley, 38, is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
