Seattle City Attorney wants 'Belltown Hellcat' driver back in jail

Miles Hudson has violated multiple conditions of his release, prosecutors say.
Miles Hudson's motion to set aside the default judgment of over $83,000 was also denied by the court.

SEATTLE — Ahead of his next court hearing, Seattle prosecutors filed a motion for a bench warrant to take the infamous "Belltown Hellcat" driver back into custody over violations of his release conditions.

Miles Hudson, 21, is currently facing two different legal cases in Seattle: one is charges of reckless driving for speeding through downtown Seattle and the other is related to stalking and sharing intimate images of a former partner on Instagram.

Sentinel, the company that administers the electronic home monitoring for Hudson, has filed multiple reports with the court in recent weeks alleging multiple different violations of his release.

While he is out on bail, Hudson has told the court he is working for his mother's company, Emerald City Transitional Services. 

"According to Emerald City Transitional Services’ website, the home health agency offers transitional placement for healthy adults and those who are acutely or chronically ill. According to Mr. Hudson, he works as a “Transitional Agent” and his position requires him to meet clients and take them to look at potential adult family homes," court documents say.

Hudson requested Sentinel that he be allowed to leave his Seattle apartment between the hours of 5 p.m. and 3 a.m. daily for his work with his mother's company. The court previously denied that request and asked Sentinel to request proof of Hudson's work and therapy hours from Hudson.

Sentinel filed a notice with the court in late September that Hudson had missed a compliance appointment and both he and his emergency contact were unreachable by the company. They also said Hudson was continuing to leave his apartment from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. despite the court denying him permission to do so.

On Oct. 4, Sentinel filed a violation notice that Hudson was leaving his apartment for long leaves without providing proof of what he was doing, and he had changed his phone number without notifying Sentinel. A case manager for Sentinel also said Hudson had been consistently posting on his TikTok page despite his release conditions barring him from posting on any social media.

Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison and Assistant City Attorney Kristina Georgieva filed the motion Monday requesting that Hudson's release be revoked and a new bail amount should be set in each of his two criminal cases.

The Seattle online court portal indicates that Hudson has a review status hearing in his two criminal cases scheduled for Tuesday morning at 8:45 a.m. It remains to be seen whether Monday's motion will be addressed or acted on at Tuesday's hearing.
