PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles transient will be arraigned Friday after he was captured Tuesday during a foot chase and multi-agency search.
Bail was set at $75,000 Wednesday for Ordez Eugene Kompkoff, 20, who is charged with residential burglary, unlawful imprisonment and obstructing a law enforcement officer.
His arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday in Clallam County Superior Court before Judge Christopher Melly.
Police had sought Kompkoff after a reported drive-by shooting on Orcas Avenue on March 18 and a home invasion on East Ninth Street on March 21.
Police pursued him March 21, but he fled.
Tuesday’s chase prompted the two-hour modified lockdown of three schools —— Lincoln High, Stevens Middle and Hamilton Elementary —and the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center.
Police used an unoccupied conference room in the skills center at 905 W. Ninth St. as headquarters during the search efforts and closed B Street between West Eighth and West Ninth streets.
Shots fired
Police link Kompkoff to a report of shots fired on Orcas Avenue near a Chase Street apartment building March 18. They sought him as a person of interest in the discharge of a weapon.
When they spotted him just before midnight March 20 during a traffic stop, they say he fled on foot.
Kompkoff was identified as the man who invaded a home shortly thereafter, commandeered the residents’ telephone and was picked up by another party.
On Tuesday, he was tracked to a house at 1009 W. Ninth St. by police dog Jag and his handler, Cpl. Kevin Miller, and taken into custody.
Justin J. Radisich, 20, of Port Angeles was taken into custody and booked into the Clallam County jail for investigation of obstructing a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
He remained in custody Wednesday on a $2,500 bond.
Another person who fled from police March 21, Jonathan Lewis Reid, 19, is free on his own recognizance until a trial set for June 17 on eluding police and motor vehicle theft.
