information released

Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison reports, on 7/15/24 Chelan County Deputies responded to a late report of domestic assault in Chelan, WA.

The victim advised that on 7/14/24, the victim’s boyfriend, Judson Biggs, a 40 year old male of Chelan, WA had assaulted them.  During the assault Biggs had kicked the victim down some stairs and choked them with his hands.

Probable cause to arrest Biggs for Assault 2nd now existed for the attempted strangulation.  Biggs also had several outstanding warrants for his arrest.

On 7/18/24, Biggs was located at a residence in the 100 block of Chelan Butte Rd, in Chelan, WA.  Deputies obtained a search warrant for Biggs at the location.  Deputies arrived and started attempts to call him out advising him that he was under arrest.  Several other individuals inside the residence exited and advised deputies that there were firearms inside the residence that Biggs had access to and that Biggs had barricaded himself in a bedroom.  Deputies were in phone contact with Biggs but he refused to come out.

Due to these circumstances the East Cascade SWAT Team was activated.

Prior to the SWAT team arriving, Biggs opened a window from the room that he was in and yelled at the deputies on scene.  Deputies deployed less lethal pepper ball into that room through the window.  Shortly thereafter, Biggs came out and gave himself up.

Biggs was booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center for violations of RCW 9A.36.021 assault 2nd DV and for RCW 9A.7.020 Obstructing Law Enforcement and RCW 9A.76.040 Resisting Arrest as well as his outstanding warrants.

A quantity of suspected fentanyl was located inside the bedroom and Biggs will face potential narcotics charges pending a test of the powder.

Chelan County Deputies will diligently continue to provide, “A community where safety, justice and security are ensured for all through unwavering commitment to service”.
