Fugitive sought in Port Angeles caught, in custody in Kitsap County

PORT ANGELES — A felon wanted by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office on a warrant for burglary who was sought in Port Angeles last week was taken into custody in Tacoma and is now in jail in Kitsap County.

Charles Andrew Lloyd, 25, was arrested Friday at a motel in Tacoma by state Department of Corrections personnel, said Detective Chad Birkenfeld of the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.

Lloyd was wanted on a state Department of Corrections warrant for escaping community custody. A “violent offender” caution alert had been issued for law enforcement officers.

He was in custody Wednesday in the Kitsap County jail on the state warrant, for which no bond has been set, and a Kitsap County warrant for first-degree burglary. Bond for that charge has been set at $250,000.

Lloyd had been reported to be at large and possibly armed Feb. 9 after Port Angeles police captured another man wanted in the same Kitsap County burglary at Fairmount Grocery and Shell station, 1137 U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles.

Jonathan Wayne Grantham, 33, was booked into the Kitsap County jail Feb. 10 on a warrant for first-degree burglary and remained there Wednesday. Bond has been set at $300,000.

One other person has been charged and is in custody for the residential burglary, Birkenfeld said.

He added that a victim was allegedly assaulted during the Kitsap County burglary.
