Man accused of groping woman inside downtown coffee shop, Olympia police say
A 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation after he allegedly groped a female customer at a downtown coffee shop in Olympia. About 11 a.m. Monday, police responded to the coffee shop in the 600 block of Fourth Avenue East, which is across from Olympia City Hall and the police station. The man was outside the business when the 46-year-old customer entered it. Witnesses said he appeared to be watching her when he came into the store, Lt. Paul Lower said Tuesday. He then allegedly walked behind her, moved closer, began to ask odd questions and then groped the woman’s buttocks, Lower said. Coffee shop staff called 911. Meanwhile, the man went outside and allegedly began to bang on the windows. That’s where police found him and took him into custody, Lower said. Staff at a coffee shop in the 500 block of Capitol Way South also reported that the man exposed himself there at 7 a.m. Monday, Lower said.

Instead, the driver allegedly took him a short distance from the transit center, and two occupants robbed him with Glock pistols in hand, according to a probable cause statement filed with the court. The minor reportedly gave them his backpack, which held his schoolwork, school supplies, a school-issued Chromebook, a sweatshirt, a wireless charger and $400 in cash, per the statement. Then he said he got out of the vehicle and walked back to the transit center. The minor’s mother told police she was there when her son got into the vehicle.
