UPDATE: No sign of Kitsap County fugitive, Port Angeles police say

PORT ANGELES — Police in Port Angeles have seen no sign of a Kitsap County felon wanted by authorities for investigation of burglary.

Police had received no new information on the whereabouts of Charles Andrew Lloyd, 25, by Tuesday afternoon, said Brian Smith, deputy police chief.

Lloyd, 25, had been reported to be at large and possibly armed Monday afternoon.

Police captured another man also wanted by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office at Fairmount Grocery and Shell station, 1137 U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles, on Monday.

Booked, transferred

Jonathan Wayne Grantham, 33, was booked into the Clallam County jail on Monday on a Class B felony warrant on $250,000 bail, and was transferred later that day to the Kitsap County jail, said Ron Sukert, chief corrections deputy for Clallam County.

“He had no local charges,” Sukert said.

Both Lloyd and Grantham are wanted for investigation of Kitsap County burglaries and were reportedly seen with what were believed to be shotguns Thursday, local police were told.

Lloyd also is wanted on a state Department of Corrections warrant for escaping community custody, with a “violent offender” caution alert for law enforcement officers.

Lloyd is described as white with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 6 feet tall and weighing about 190 pounds.

He has tattoos on both arms, back, chest and legs.

Anyone with information about Lloyd or who sees him should phone 9-1-1 immediately and take no other action.

Police were not able to confirm whether Lloyd had been in Port Angeles.

Grantham was captured at 12:10 p.m. at Fairmount Grocery.

Searched car

During a search of the car, police found a shotgun, ammunition, narcotics and evidence from crimes in Kitsap County.

The Port Angeles Police Department had been contacted Thursday by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office regarding the two fugitives.

On Monday morning, police located a car associated with the two men at a motel on the 1500 block of East Front Street.

Detectives followed the car until it stopped at Fairmount Grocery, where police surrounded the car first by plain-clothes detectives in unmarked cars and then by marked police units.

Grantham was taken into custody without additional incident.

Kitsap County sheriff’s detectives later served a search warrant on the vehicle recovered in Port Angeles.
