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.

Sad to conclude but oh so very appropriate: the people of Seattle deserve the government and tyranny they overwhelmingly voted for.
That is a very astute, very true statement. “We hold these truths to be self evident.” Well we used to before America’s back was broken turning so hard to the left.
It doesn’t look like anyone picked up on this.
This happened in the CHAZ.
Therefore - it’s all good.
