SEATTLE — A man who was determined to be a "sexually violent predator" by a King County court is on the loose after removing his ankle monitor in Seattle, Department of Corrections (DOC) officials say.
Damion Blevins, 33, was last seen near King Street Station, according to a news release from DOC. He is six feet tall and weighs 270 pounds, the release says.
The man was a resident of a Less Restrictive Alternative in Tukwila, a community residential facility where people deemed sexually violent predators can live in a setting less restrictive than McNeil Island's total confinement facility, according to the release.
Blevins was most recently convicted of second-degree assault in 2017, and civilly committed to the Special Commitment Center in 2023, the release says. Blevins' sex offender registry profile indicates he was officially deemed a sexually violent predator in June 2019, but does not specify the crime he was convicted of.
Anyone who sees Blevins is asked to not approach him and call 911 or DOC headquarters at 360-480-2696.
