Members of Seattle’s SWAT team took a man into custody who barricaded himself inside a homeless shelter in the Interbay neighborhood and held two staff members captive on Tuesday afternoon, threatening them with sexual violence.
According to court documents obtained by The Post Millennial, the suspect, Michael Glenn Stanley, 49, allegedly barricaded the door of his case worker's office at the Department of Emergency Service’s Interbay Place facility on 15th Ave W. with a chair and prevented the victims, identified as ES, his caseworker, and HM from leaving, as well as staff and police from entering.
The defendant brandished a silver folding knife in front of the victims and threatened to slit the victims’ throats.
According to the case investigation report, ES said leading up to the incident that Staley appeared no longer in touch with reality, and started referring to ES as "Shaleene," which the report stated was possibly a former girlfriend.
