PORT ANGELES — Riley Edge White, the Port Angeles man charged with assaulting a Clallam Transit bus driver and elderly passenger last month, was charged Monday with trespassing at a bus stop.
White, 59, was charged in Clallam County District Court with second-degree criminal trespass for allegedly violating orders to stay away from Clallam Transit facilities.
He was being held Monday in the Clallam County jail on $1,000 bail.
Port Angeles police arrested White at a bus stop on Fourth Street near the Clallam County Courthouse entrance Friday — one day after he posted a $30,000 bail bond for his felony case.
White is charged in Clallam County Superior Court with first-degree attempted kidnapping, first-degree attempted robbery and two counts of second-degree assault for allegedly attacking bus driver Joy Crummett and 80-year-old Angeline Olsen on a Clallam Transit bus May 28.
He was attempting to start the bus when police arrived, according to the affidavit for probable cause.
One of the assault charges is for strangulation, and the other carries a special allegation that White caused the reckless infliction of substantial bodily harm on a vulnerable victim.
White was served with exclusionary papers preventing him from being on Clallam Transit property or facilities.
He faces a July 18 trial on the felony case and an Aug. 17 trial on the misdemeanor case, court officials said.
