What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
Last year, I became aquaintances with an older student at the community college where I tutor math. He was almost 40 and seemed a little creepy to me, and was covered in racist tattoos. He would only work with me, and I was starting to feel uncomfortable with his attention. Calls and emails were very sexual and not academically related. I had a background check done on him, and turned out he has 73 different charges in 7 different states, including hate crimes and violent felonies. He has spent 80% of hid adult life in prison. (I didn't even realize that people with this many charges could ever get out of prison.) I was going to file for a restraining order, but he was picked up on 4 older outstanding warrants, and at the time I thought he'd be in jail for a long time, and I would have moved away by the time he was out. Well yesterday, I ran in to him at the train station. Turns out he was released early, AGAIN. He said "wanna see something nifty?" and pulled a dagger out of his back pack, saying he traded 200 oxycontin pills for it. He didn't threaten me with it, but I was quite shaken and glad to be picked up by a ride instead. I am considering filing a restraining order, but don't know if I have cause anymore just based on this new incident. Mostly, I am really concerned because I know that knives have been his weapon of choice, and he has been convicted of stabbing assaults multiple times. He has a hot temper, and I'm pretty sure he could find a reason to stab a n old lady walking down the street, if she were a person of color and looked at him wrong. In the 5 minutes or less that we conversed, he told me that he is no longer on probation (I checked and it's true) and that he's somewhat homeless and "couch surfing". Is there any way I can report him for having this weapon?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
