Attempted Buglary--Man with a Sword
On 01-05-2016 at about 2:48 p.m., Richland Police responded
to the area of Williams Blvd. and Stevens Dr. for a 911-reported suspicious
male with a sword call. Updated
information placed the male at the CUP Church and in the area of a
daycare. The male, later identified as
twenty-nine-year-old Steven L. Houtrouw, was attempting to force entry into the
building by pounding on the exterior windows and doors of the daycare with the
sword. The daycare was placed into a
Critical Lockdown and Houtrouw walked from the area.
RPD officers began searching the area and located Houtrouw
in the 1100 block of Long Ave. at Christ the King School. The male was still wielding the katana-style
sword and appeared to be an emotionally disturbed person (EDP). Christ the King School was placed into a
Critical Lockdown.
Officers attempted to calm Houtrouw down and gain control of
him, but he refused to put the sword down.
Houtrouw expressed thoughts of suicidal ideation and yelled at the
officers to shoot him. Unable to
de-escalate the emotionally charged Houtrouw, Officers deployed ECW’s (AKA
Taser’s) on Houtrouw. Houtrouw dropped
the sword and was taken to the ground by Officers, where he continued to resist
efforts to control him. Additional
Officers arrived and Houtrouw was taken into custody without further incident.
Once Houtrouw is medically cleared at Kadlec, he will be
booked into the Benton County Jail on multiple charges for the attempted Burglary
and Weapons violations. The case will be
forwarded for evaluation by Designated Mental Health Professionals.

Administrator Arrested for Custodial Sexual Misconduct
Arrested: Stoker,
Mindi M; 38 year of age female, Pasco resident
Charges: Custodial
Sexual Misconduct 1st Degree, Custodial Sexual Misconduct 2nd Degree
The complaint alleged that a staff member,
Mindi Stoker, had sexual contact with an 18 year old resident. Complaints of this nature are typically
processed through Child Protective Services (CPS) since the facilities are
licensed to house juveniles. CPS
referred the incident to Richland PD for a criminal investigation. A detective from the Washington State Patrol is also involved in investigating part of the case.
The investigation revealed that Stoker had communicated in
several different formats with a client housed at Twin Rivers. Messages contained information of a sexually
explicit nature. It appears that the contact had been going on since at least
October, 2015.
The two had sexual contact on a number of different outings
and trips taken together. On some of the
excursions other individuals were present and observed inappropriate
contact. The two had sex at least once
in the facility located at 605 McMurray St.
A search warrant was served and a phone and computer
seized. Evidence found on the cellular phone supported the initial allegation. A number of interviews have been
conducted with staff and clients of Twin Rivers.
On December 8, 2015 RPD Detective Jansen contacted the
Benton County Prosecutor’s Office. After
being briefed on the case, they authorized a 72 hour hold for Stoker.
Stoker was contacted at her residence in Pasco and taken
into custody without incident. She was
booked into the Benton County jail on the above listed charges. The investigation into this incident is
continuing.
Media contacts are encouraged to call Cpt. Mike Cobb,
942-7362, with any questions.
