Synopsis:
On January 16, 2014 at approximately 10:45 AM, Richland and Kennewick PD
officers were in the area of the Motel 6 (1751 Fowler) investigating a stolen
vehicle. They obtained information that Robert
Pyke was in room 116. Pyke had active
warrants for his arrest. After subjects
were taken into custody for the stolen vehicle, officers went to room 116 and
knocked on the door. Bellamy answered
and Pyke was sitting on the bed. The
officers told Pyke that he had warrants for his arrest. As he was standing up, Pyke dropped two
baggies of suspected methamphetamine that had been in his pocket. Pyke was taken into custody.
A search warrant was served on the room. Officers found additional methamphetamine, a
kit containing needles, spoons and baggies with a small amount of heroin
inside, a digital scale and a scraper.
Bellamy was linked to the drugs and was also arrested.
The Benton County Prosecutor’s Office authorized a 72 hour
hold for each individual on the above listed charges. In addition, charges for felony Violation of
a Court Order are being reviewed for Pyke by the Prosecutor. They were booked into the Benton County jail
without further incident.
