Seattle man's bail set at $150k after allegedly yelling expletives outside US Rep. Jayapal's home
A Seattle man charged with felony stalking after allegedly standing outside U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal's home and yelling expletives while armed with a pistol pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
A King County Superior Court judge set Brett Forsell's bail at $150,000 during Forsell's arraignment hearing Tuesday.
The King County Prosecutor's Office requested $500,000 bail, arguing Forsell is "likely to commit a violent offense if free in the community," according to court documents. Forsell allegedly told investigators he would return to Jayapal's home as soon as he is released.
The judge granted the King County Prosecutor's Office's request for GPS monitoring with victim notification, alcohol monitoring, stalking protection order and home monitoring if Forsell posts bail.
