BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Bellingham Police booked 20-year-old Jason Calvin Harrison into Whatcom County Jail on Wednesday, March 16th, for his role in a suspected first-degree robbery that occurred last July at the Civic Athletic Complex.

Court documents state that Harrison gave a voluntary interview to BPD and admitted that he and five others were involved in creating a fake Facebook account of a woman to reach out to the victim, asking to meet at Frank Geri Fields.

When the victim arrived to meet the woman he found the group of young men instead and they proceeded to assault him with a baseball bat.

One of the other individuals, 18-year-old Jadesen Joshua-Lee Knutdson, brandished a gun to rob him of his belongings.

Knutdson, 22 year-olds Zoey Lee Kier and Benjamin Riley Morgan, and 18 year-old Tyler Jay Hoines all have warrants issued for their suspected part in the armed robbery, as well as a sixth unnamed juvenile.
