ISSAQUAH, Wash. — The Issaquah Police Department (IPD) says that 911 dispatch received a call earlier last week with a voice yelling “stop” heard on the other end of the line before the call was cut off.
Officers responded to a home and found a door kicked open, but no one was inside, IPD said.
The victim then returned home and told police an ex-partner allegedly forced their way inside and assaulted the victim before destroying their phone after learning a 911 call was made.
They told officers it wasn’t the first time domestic abuse like this had happened but feared retaliation and had not reported it, IPD said in a release.
The suspect was found, arrested, and faces charges including residential burglary, assault, exposing a child to domestic violence, among other charges.
