Seattle Police this afternoon announced they made an arrest in a home invasion robbery from slightly over a year ago.

On Jan. 7, 2011, a woman was tied up inside her home in the 2000 block of Northeast 96th Street by a robber who demanded her debit card and PIN, police said. The man, wearing a ski mask with the eyes cut out, broke in around 2:30 a.m., police said.

At that time, police today said:

The immediate neighborhood was canvassed by robbery detectives and the suspect, who lived across the street from the victim, was briefly interviewed (at the time of the interview, detectives did not realize that they were interviewing the suspect).

Also, the police released a photograph of the suspect using the woman’s card at an ATM in Lake City.

During the course of their on-going investigation, robbery detectives continued to develop new information.

On January 10, 2012 robbery detectives served a search warrant on the suspect’s residence in the 2000 block of N.E. 96th Street. The suspect was placed under arrest and transported to the robbery office. After being interviewed the suspect was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Robbery.

  1. His name is Christopher Jacque Petersen. He’s now booked in king county jail. we used to live in the neighborhood and had a few run-ins with him. Hopefully he will get what he deserves and spend many, many years in jail.

  2. Daniel, these records are available to people with Internet access and a web browser:
    KingCounty.gov/records/ –> Records search and copies -> Records Search
    Enter what you know: parcel number range, name associated with the record, date range, etc. PLUS “Notice of Trustee Sale.”

    State of Washington Court Records – Search Case Records: dw.courts.wa.gov

  3. Unless you count speeding and letting a dog run loose away from dog parks, which apparently happens in Maple Leaf and anywhere else, he had no criminal history. He did nearly lose his house to foreclosure though last year, which apparently happened to some unlucky mortgagee in every Seattle neighborhood over the past six years, so perhaps stress-induced desperation affected his critical thinking faculties.

  4. Hmm.. now I am wondering how “michael” knows he doesn’t live in our neighborhood anymore? He was arrested in our neighborhood accross the street from the crime… ??? What.. was he just visiting his old address??

  5. They can’t list their name when they are still a suspect, it’s that whole “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” thing we believe in, even if it sounds like they got their man. The address puts him right by Sacajewea elementary school and 6 blocks from my house, glad to hear he’s no longer in our neighborhood.
