OLYMPIA — A 44-year-old man accused of harassing an Olympia family for months now faces multiple criminal charges, including felony harassment.
Toda M. Robinson is set to be arraigned on March 3, Thurston County Superior Court records show.
Robinson appeared in court Feb. 18 where a commissioner found probable cause to charge him with felony harassment/threat to kill, second-degree theft, residential burglary and unlawful possession of controlled substances (heroin and methamphetamine) with intent to deliver.
The commissioner set bail at $75,000 and Robinson has been released. He also was ordered not to have contact with the Olympia family, which consists of two adults and two children. A pre-trial report identifies him as a transient.
According to charging documents:
About 7:25 p.m. Feb. 15, Olympia police were dispatched to a southeast Olympia home after a report of a residential burglary. Officers saw a man exit the home with a large sack and he was detained. Meanwhile, the family had locked itself in the bathroom after he had entered the home uninvited. He was known to carry a gun, they said, but police did not find any weapons.
A female family member told police that after she moved into the home last fall, she met Robinson, thinking he was friends with the neighbors, but over the next few weeks, he would show up unannounced and get into her house through a broken window next to the front door. The woman said he never had a key and was never invited inside.
“She had told him he was not allowed to do this, but because she had heard rumors of his involvement with drugs and gangs, she never called 911 due to fear of violent retaliation,” the court documents read.
On Feb. 15, the family found Robinson in the living room. The woman yelled at him to leave, but he yelled back and started to remove items from the home and put them into his car. She said she would get a restraining order, and he allegedly said he would shoot and kill her whole family, according to the court documents.
Police later searched his vehicle and found $1,000 in merchandise that belonged to the family. They also found 27 grams of methamphetamine, 97 grams of heroin and $15,000 in cash.
