Man Arrested After Shattering 13 Windows at WA Capitol, Authorities Say
State patrol says 13 office window sets and two doors were damaged, and the suspect was later booked on DUI and assault charges after a chase.
- On Thursday, 21-year-old Clayton Stephen Seaborn was arrested after damaging the Washington Legislative Building and leading Washington State Patrol troopers on a pursuit through Olympia.
- This incident occurred eight months after a fire caused 'significant' damage inside the Capitol Building, prompting officials to install protective window film earlier this year.
- Seaborn allegedly used rocks and his fists to damage 13 office window sets and two doors, with the Department of Enterprise Services estimating the resulting damage at $100,000.
- After a chase involving a collision with a patrol vehicle, officers apprehended Seaborn near railroad tracks at Marathon Park and he is currently held at the Thurston County Jail.
- Officials confirmed the installed protective film prevented entry into the building, even as Seaborn faces charges including driving under the influence and malicious mischief.
