Brett Forsell was charged with felony stalking after allegedly threatening to kill Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal. Forsell was first arrested July 9 .
"I am grateful to the King County Prosecutor’s Office for holding this man accountable for his dangerous actions, to the victim’s advocate for her assistance throughout the process, and to the Seattle Police Department, U.S. Capitol Police, and the House Sergeant at Arms for continuing to keep my family, me, and my staff safe," Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said in a statement. "Now, the Prosecutor’s Office and the courts will do their important work to protect all of us."
Police arrested Forsell outside Jayapal’s home after she called 911 to report that a person she didn’t know was outside using obscene language. Jayapal told the dispatcher that her husband thought someone might have fired a pellet gun.
