King County: Just after 10:30 am this morning, September 27, 2022, multiple troopers arrested a suspect that had allegedly been throwing rocks and other debris at vehicles on SR 900 near 164th just outside the city of Renton.
This came as the result of community involvement and assistance from the media to get these incidents publicized which led the Washington State Patrol (WSP) to develop probable cause for the arrest of the individual. The WSP wants to thank the community and those that came forward and worked with troopers to gather the necessary evidentiary pieces to finally put a stop to the dangerous actions of this individual. The witnesses that provided positive identification and observed this individual commit the crimes was crucial to this case ending in an arrest.
The suspect was identified as 55 year old Shawn L. Perantie and was taken into custody without incident on SR 900 near 164th. To date, the investigation has proven that the damage caused by Perantie was over $2,200 which led to him being booked on investigation of the felony charge of Malicious Mischief 2nd degree and Reckless Endangerment.
The Washington State Patrol is still seeking anyone that may be a victim or a witness in this case and has not been contacted by a trooper to please call the Washington State Patrol.
The Washington State Patrol takes these kinds of crimes seriously and with the communities’ help, strives to make the roadways safe and bring to justice any person that chooses to commit these kinds of crimes.
