Port Townsend Police Chief Thomas Olson Email claiming that he sent the Alex French charges for Robbery 2nd Degree, Attempted Robbery 2nd Degree, Attempted Theft 2nd Degree, Theft 3rd Degree, and Assault 4th Degree from the Amy Sousa Press Conference on August 15th 2022.

“From: tolson@cityofpt.us

Subject: Update

Date: Monday, October 10, 2022 ,


“I am responding to your public comments email dated October 3rd.

Were you aware that we arrested and booked the suspect from your complaint of being assaulted on August 15th? On September 3rd, Alexander French was arrested by the Port Townsend Police Department and booked into the Jefferson County Jail for the August 15th incident. The Port Townsend Police requested that the Jefferson County Prosecutor charge French with Robbery 2nd Degree, Attempted Robbery 2nd Degree, Attempted Theft 2nd Degree, Theft 3rd Degree, and Assault 4th Degree. The police only refer the charges based on the evidence that they collect. Ultimately, it is the Prosecutor’s Office that determines what charges will or won’t actually be filed. I have requested an update on your case but I have not heard back from them.

As of September 3rd, your case was sent to the Prosecutor’s Office and is out of our hands. I would encourage you reach out to the crime victim advocate with the Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office. Please let me know if you have any further questions that I can assist you with.

Best Regards,

Thomas Olson”

HOWEVER, the Jefferson County Crime Victim Advocate Katie Davis Said,


“I did speak to Chris Ashcraft who filled me in a bit on what the status is. He did state that law

enforcement did not forward a case regarding you as a victim to our office. He states that

without law enforcement forwarding charges the prosecutors cannot move forward with

Anything.”

So what happened to Alex French’s charges for “Robbery 2nd Degree, Attempted Robbery 2nd Degree, Attempted Theft 2nd Degree, Theft 3rd Degree, and Assault 4th Degree” that Port Townsend Police Chief Tom Olson Discusses in the above eMail? Did the Mayors Law Firm Feinson and Faber cook up a deal with “El Jeffe” (Jefferson County Attorney James Kennedy) via Prosecutor Chris Ashcraft, to sweep all those assaults and robbery under the magic rug?
