Man faces assault, hate crime charges for Amtrak attack in Franklin County(WA)

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Wash. — A 41-year-old man from Burien is being charged with second-degree assault and hate crimes following a disturbance on an Amtrak train February 16, according to probable cause documents from the Franklin County Court. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office sent deputies to the Sagemoor Road and Highway 395 intersection after the Amtrak stopped nearby, reporting a drunk man was on board threatening passengers with a knife.

Deputies asked the train passengers and crew about the incident, according to court documents. The conductor told FCSO what an employee had told him, that a white man in overalls and a cowboy hat was using racial slurs toward Black passengers while holding a knife. They then spoke with one of the victims in the next train car, who informed deputies that the suspect, later identified as 41-year-old Wesley Young, was downstairs in the back bathroom.

While deputies received statements from the three men, other law enforcement officers were trying to get into the bathroom where Young was located. Court documents say he yelled continuously at officers while inside, using racial slurs and explicit exclamations. As time went on, he got more agitated, even hitting the door. Young was barricaded until SWAT arrived, prompting him to open the door. He was then arrested “without incident.”
