A judge revoked bail for a jail inmate accused of trying to thwart a court order to surrender his firearms.

Jeremy Dawley, 35, of Oak Harbor, was being held in Island County jail on $100,000 for allegedly intimidating the Oak Harbor city attorney by threatening to give out her address to people who’ve committed violent offenses and sexual assaults.

Prosecutors charged Dawley in Island County Superior Court Jan. 13 with two counts of intimidating a public servant, which carries a standard sentencing range of three to eight months in jail.

At the preliminary appearance hearing, the judge ordered Dawley to surrender his firearms.

In court Monday, Chief Criminal Prosecutor Eric Ohme alleged that Dawley “willfully violated” the order by calling his roommate from jail the same day.

Dawley asked the roommate to transfer ownership of two of the firearms to the roommate and take another firearm and claim it was his, Ohme said.

The next day, Dawley called and asked the roommate if he accomplished the task, but the roommate said he was too busy.

Ohme explained that he asked Dawley’s attorney, Jason Lantz, to help secure the firearms, which he did. They are being held at a Skagit County business.

Ohme said Dawley was “caught red handed” and made clear plans to thwart the order.

“If the court’s rules do not suit him, he will violate them,” Ohme said.

Lantz argued that Dawley, who he called “a military man,” should be released on personal recognizance. He said his client didn’t intentionally try to violate the court order and that the order was somewhat vague.

Lantz also said Dawley has no history of violent offenses and isn’t accused of threatening to commit violence directly.

“He was several steps removed from any violent crime offenses himself,” he said.

Dawley’s father spoke and said he would supervise his son if he was released.

Judge Alan Hancock ruled that Dawley willfully and intentionally tried to subvert the court order and revoked his pretrial release, meaning he will be held in jail until the case is resolved or release conditions are changed.

Under court order, Dawley was evaluated by a mental health professional, who found that Dawley doesn’t qualify for a mental-health commitment, Hancock noted.

Officer Lisa Powers-Rang’s Jan. 11 report on the case explains that Dawley called 911 a total of 124 times over the prior nine months to report traffic, animal and public assist complaints. She wrote that Dawley’s behavior escalated over the past month and that he became a risk to the community.

In addition to the 911 calls, Dawley left a rambling message with the Police Chief Kevin Dresker.

The chief and Powers-Rang called Dawley back and put him on speaker phone.

Dawley allegedly said he would give out the city attorney’s personal information to rapists and violent offenders and threatened to give Dresker’s personal information to jaywalkers.

During the rambling conversation, Dawley allegedly told officers that he has a sniper rifle, knows how to deal with motion-sensor lights and would be able to cover them and enter through a window.

In a later conversation with the city attorney, Dawley told her that he is a law-abiding citizen, not a murderer, and is not “going after you guys,” the officer wrote.

Powers-Rang asked Dawley about his comments to the chief about releasing personal information; Dawley said he wasn’t going to give her address to pedophiles, but felt others in the community would like to know her whereabouts, her picture and pictures of her children.

“Dawley further mentions that speaking hypothetically that he would do a direct mailer to the pedophiles, the rapists and the violent offenders and have them sent to her house,” Powers-Rang wrote.

On Jan. 10, Dawley went to the police station and filled out a public records request form seeking to review records of violent offenders, including those who committed sexual assaults.

Dawley walked across the street to City Hall and went into the legal department, where staff members hit the panic alarm.

A detective arrested Dawley there.
