Days after allegedly assaulting his ex-wife, one of Washington’s Most Wanted, Christopher Robin Hood, was taken into police custody in Kenmore during the early hours of Saturday, Nov. 29, by a team of SWAT officers.

The ordeal started on Nov. 21 when Hood broke into his ex-wife’s house, after repeatedly stalking her, and then assaulting her. Hood beat the victim several times in the face with the butt of a gun but managed to leave before officers arrived.

A warrant for his arrest was issued due to the violent nature of the assault and his prior crimes. Hood, who previously changed his name from Christopher Robin Wells to Christopher Robin Hood, was showcased on the TV show Washington’s Most Wanted.

An acquaintance of Hood found out about the warrant through the show and immediately called police to turn him in.

Police immediately responded and a SWAT team was called in to make the arrest. Hood had been staying with his girlfriend and his girlfriends’ mother at the Coventry Place Condo’s in Kenmore, where the SWAT arrest was made.

According to Chief Cliff Sether of the Kenmore Police Department, the most difficult part of the arrest was rousing the SWAT team and finding a judge to authorize the search warrant.

“Really because of his history and level of violence, I decided to call in SWAT Team,” Sether said. “It was executed without any incident, largely [due to] professionalism of officers.”

Police surrounded the building that Hood was staying in and SWAT initiated contact with him around 3 a.m., rousing many residents of the building Hood hid in.

“We definitely knew it was something more serious than a traffic stop. I got up and looked out the window and there was a SWAT guy standing outside my window,” said a resident of the building who is unnamed due to safety concerns. “I’ve never seen that before so it was a little weird.”

Those in the building around the unit Hood was in could hear much of what happened that evening. The police assured residents that contacted them that there was nothing to worry about.

“I was never scared whatsoever, it was more like ‘Oh my God I can’t believe this is happening in Kenmore,'” said the same witness. “I thought [the SWAT team] were amazing… I never felt scared at all. I knew there was SWAT there, so there was a huge police presence. [Hood] is not a resident here, I never felt unsafe.”

Hood surrendered peacefully.

“I’m not frightened, I used to work for the police and I’ve traveled all over the world,” said another resident of the Coventry Place Condos. “The Bothell and Kenmore Police, they’re tops. I’m a lot more secure in this area than elsewhere because of the confidence I have in our police.”

Hood is currently being held on a $1 million bail for multiple Seattle Police Department warrants.
