The victim said that she returned to her apartment and found a screen removed from her front window and lying on the ground. When she opened the door to her apartment, the other female, who she did not know, was sitting on her couch going through her belongings. The suspect female said she just needed money and didn’t want any trouble. The two began to struggle as the suspect female tried to run out the front door. While trying to get away, the suspect bit the victim on the top of her head. The commotion alerted two neighbors who came out of their apartments and tried to intervene. One of them took a cell-phone photo of the suspect before she was able to get free and run away. A police K-9 tracked the suspect for a short distance but the suspect was not located.
The suspect was described as a white female, approximately 5 foot 4 inches tall, 130 to 140 pounds, with dirty blond/reddish hair pulled into a ponytail. She was said to be wearing a black jacket covering an army-pink camo sweater and blue jeans. She was also wearing a white hat and had scabs on her face.
Anyone with information on the female pictured in the attached photo is asked to contact Detective Lieutenant Thompson at253-896-8287 or 253-922-6633. Reference Fife Case #14-0770.
