EXCLUSIVE: A former staffer for a consultant who worked on Washington Attorney General Nick Brown’s campaign was arrested after allegedly breaking into Brown's home. Brown’s representative, attorney David A. Perez, confirmed the June break-in and said the suspect was experiencing a mental health crisis. "The Attorney General’s home was broken into while he and his family were not there. When he returned home with his children, there was a sign of a break-in, and he called 911. Police responded and arrested someone who was experiencing a mental health crisis. That person was the former staffer of a consultant who worked on the Attorney General’s campaign." He declined further comment on Brown’s security. According to SPD records and body-camera footage obtained by The Ari Hoffman Show: • On June 12, Brown returned home with his children, heard glass breaking or falling from a broken window, and he and his family exited the home. He then checked his security footage, allegedly recognized Elizabeth Lowell Sibley Bowditch, and called 911. • Officers allegedly found Bowditch, then 22, upstairs in a bed under the covers. One officer described her as appearing to hide; another described her as asleep. • “I’m not resisting, I’m not resisting,” she can be heard saying during her arrest. As she is being led to the police car, she can be heard saying, "He's been in my house." • An officer says, “She broke into the attorney general’s home.” Officers found 1 half-full bottle of wine, 1 half-full bottle of bourbon, and pills in her bag. The records do not establish whether she was intoxicated. • Brown told police she had been let go from her position with the Tracy Newman Company approximately two months earlier. He said she had mental health issues, had been telling people she was in love with him, and had sent him strange texts that he did not answer. According to the police report, Brown "stated that he was not in any kind of dating relationship with Bowditch." • Police arrested her without incident. Nothing was reported stolen; the documented damage was the broken rear-door glass. • Police objected to her release, citing escalating behavior and what they described as stalking behavior. • She was booked for investigation of burglary and released the following evening. A detective concluded there was insufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime against a person or property inside the home to meet residential-burglary filing standards. He referred the case to Seattle city prosecutors for consideration of criminal trespass and property destruction charges. The Seattle City Attorney's Office said in a statement, "This matter is under review by CAO prosecutors." Video redacted and blurred by SPD I have removed portions of the video for security concerns

NEW: ACLU filed a state lawsuit over I-638 to get a friendlier court, knowing they will likely lose in federal court and SCOTUS Last night, the Seattle School Board voted to pursue legal options against I-638, the initiative to keep boys out of girls' sports During a press conference today, Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Ben Shuldiner, who is not a member of the board, said that the agency was examining legal options because there are parts of I-638 that conflict with state law and was looking for guidance I asked why there was so much discussion about not violating state law, but not about violating federal law, especially given how there are local cases about boys in girls' sports heading to SCOTUS. Shuldiner replied, “Federal law, of course, always supersedes state law, and I think that there is definitely a conversation within the board around where we're trying to get guidance from right now." He added, "I do believe that if the federal law says, 'actually, this is totally fine, and this is what you have to do, you got to do the will of the people." Shuldiner continued, "My initial read is that what happened yesterday was that they're doing a lawsuit within the state; I think that's probably political in nature because they are interested in having the Washington state courts respond to a Washington state initiative."

BREAKING: Former Afghan immigrant Mustafa Aman, who became a US citizen after working for a defense contractor under a special program, was indicted for fraud in connection with visa applications He allegedly falsified documents to obtain status for friends and family members The 39-year-old Seattle resident was arrested today on a six-count indictment charging him with a scheme to submit false information to obtain immigration status for his friends and family members According to Acting US Attorney Charles Neil Floyd, Aman allegedly began submitting false information to government agencies as early as 2013 and continued with the conspiracy into 2024. “It is disturbing that this defendant repeatedly took advantage of our country’s generosity. This person, who helped the US in Afghanistan, allegedly used fraud at every step of the process to bring others from Afghanistan to this country,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Floyd. “Mr. Aman was granted citizenship because he was considered a trusted ally to the United States. Sadly, he exploited our generosity and used it against us.” According to the indictment, Aman used his knowledge of the immigration system and his knowledge of a United States defense contractor to conspire to help his friends and family members obtain status by fraud. He drafted fake letters of recommendation and assisted others in creating fake employee badges and letters of support. He made false statements to public officials, including members of the State Department and Congressional staff. Even with his own application, he submitted a false statement saying that he was single when, in fact, he was already married. The indictment alleges that, in 2014, Aman provided a fake recommendation letter to a coconspirator to be used in the coconspirator’s Special Immigrant Visa application. The individual had not worked for any American company in Afghanistan, but used a draft provided by Aman to claim he had worked for that same company. In 2016, Aman allegedly provided a forged letter of recommendation for use by a different person. In 2022, Aman again assisted two other people with false letters of recommendation and false employment information to try to obtain Afghan Special Immigrant Visas for them. Aman made repeated false statements about his marital status as well. He is charged with making a false statement in a passport application and with using a passport secured by a false statement. Further, he is charged with two counts of submitting false writing for his forged letters of recommendation for non-citizens seeking visas. Conspiracy to defraud the United States is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment. Aman will appear in U.S. District Court in Seattle at 2:00 this afternoon.
