SEATTLE — A 46-year-old man was arrested for breaking into an occupied Capitol Hill apartment armed with an axe, a hatchet and a spiked glove was released from jail without charges Monday — after state case workers concluded he is incompetent and unable to defend himself in court.
Stanley Dion Red, 46, who has a long criminal history, and a history of treatment for mental illnesses, was captured on video climbing onto the balcony of a Capitol Hill apartment complex on June 17th. According to Henry Stelter, the tenant who was working from home at the time, Red entered the apartment and directly approached him.
“I went back, and I grabbed my pistol,” Stelter told KIRO-7 News. “At that point he’d seen me, and he started walking down the hallway towards me and he started reaching for the axe on his back. He also had a glove that had a metal spike sticking out the front of it.”
Stelter said Red was speaking unintelligibly, offering to “buy the apartment,” and cursing at him.
“I just kept telling him he needs to get out get out. He was saying all sorts of random things that I couldn’t really make out,” Stelter said. “I slowly backed him down.”
At gunpoint, Red climbed back down off the balcony into the alley, and minutes later SPD officers moved in and arrested him for criminal trespassing. But today, more than two weeks later, Henry was informed Stanley Red was released — with no charges at all.
State psychologists apparently concluded Red was incompetent to even understand why he was arrested.
The evaluation goes on to say Red’s charge was “not a serious offense, according to state law,” and the City Attorney’s Office said they had no choice but to drop the case.

I wonder who will eventually get Axed
where did the homeowner make a mistake other than not shooting the armed guy breaking into his home?
Don’t you think maybe this guy deserves to be in an institution?
Nevermind - the perp is black so no problem.
I would not have said anything to the perp if he entered my home that way.
His body would have landed on the street rather quickly.
The guy is too incompetent to stand trial...but was miraculously competent enough to recognize that he had to back down when he saw the homeowner had a gun.
So now they gonna let axe murderers run loose.....brilliant.
Lesson learned....shoot...shovel...shut up.
He has been entered onto the fbi’s lost of future assets when a false flag is planned for the area. ‘Never let a good psycho go to waste’ dontchaknow.
Hard to shovel when you live in an apartment.
Did they give the guy his axe and spiked glove back?
He might still have some unfinished business to take care of with the homeowner.
Maybe he has a garbage disposal.
They all belong in a mental institution - not only the axe-wielder, but the government case workers and attorneys as well.
(But maybe that’s why the government guys sympathize with the axe-man - because they’re all sick.)
Should have planted a MAGA hat on him.
“The guy is too incompetent to stand trial..”
Well that might be, but is that what we do with violent insane people, say “oh, you’re not competent to assist in your defense, so go on your merry way, have a nice day”?
“Hard to shovel when you live in an apartment”
Nah...just have to get creative...
“Like my new planter?...its an antique horse trough”
*grin*
Did they give him back his axe, hatchet and spiked glove?
I am not sure you could find a Maga hat anywhere on Capitol Hill in Seattle, you are far more likely to find Unicorns
