On Tuesday, August 7, 2012, just after midnight, Spokane County Sheriff's Deputy C. Johnston responded to the 8500 block of East Red Oak Drive for a residential burglary in progress. The homeowner called 911 and reported there were two unknown male subjects
inside his home.
Deputy Johnston, along with several Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies, and a City of Spokane K9 unit, responded to the residence. Once the homeowner and his wife were safe, the officer's searched the residence. However, when the homeowner first saw them, the
two suspects fled the scene prior to deputies arrival.
Sheriff's Deputies saw the front door to the residence had been forced open. The homeowner told deputies he was awakened by a loud noise, which she thought was a window breaking. When she looked downstairs she saw two males standing outside the foyer area next
to a guest bedroom. The homeowner thought they were two white males, wearing white tank tops and dark shorts. However, it was dark so she was not certain. She said the suspects ran out the front door when they saw her.
