Street Report

Bellevue repeat offender Merrell James Gorham-Craig just went on another rampage through the city. The Plymouth Housing/PorchLight campus resident is accused of ransacking a Walgreens and QFC late Monday evening.

But even more disturbing, cops let him go back to his apartment without booking him into jail and are now refusing to answer my questions.

A.K.A. “Manny”

Gorham-Craig is also known as “Manny” by Plymouth workers and residents. He has a lengthy rap sheet and is well known to Bellevue cops. The @FactoriaLLS team and I have been watching his name pop up on numerous police reports this year.

A Menace Inside the Facility

Gorham-Craig is also accused of being a menace to Plymouth Housing workers and neighbors.
