Two arrested in probe of Forks robbery

PORT ANGELES — A pair who police say robbed a Forks man at knifepoint have been arrested for investigation of first-degree robbery.

Elijah Roland Daniels, 25, and Felisha Larae Jackson, 28, were arrested Thursday for allegedly robbing the man Wednesday.

Forks police said the twosome stole $350 in cash, a wallet, gold necklace, gold ring, pocket knife and cellphone from the man at a residence at 213 Founders Way.

Clallam County Superior Court Judge Erik Rohrer set Jackson’s bail at $50,000 and Daniels’ bail at $30,000 in their preliminary court appearances Friday.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John Troberg had requested a $100,000 bail for both defendants.

Formal charges are expected to be filed against Daniels and Jackson on Tuesday.

Police said in court documents that Daniels and Jackson forced the man, who was not identified, into the residence and demanded drugs.

Jackson allegedly opened the alleged victim’s pocket knife and pointed it at him as he was being robbed.

Daniels told the man that if he phoned police, he would be found and killed with his own knife, Officer Brent Kempster wrote in the arrest report.

Forks police spokeswoman Kelsey Pearson said Daniels and Jackson are acquaintances of the alleged victim.

Daniels is also charged with possession of heroin in a separate case.

He will be arraigned on that matter Friday.
