PETITION FOR WARRANT OR SUMMONS FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION
The Honorable Thomas O. Rice, U.S. District Judge.
PETITIONING THE COURT
To incorporate the violation(s) with the violation report submitted to the Court on April 21, 2022.
On April 29, 2021, the judgment and sentence was reviewed with Mr. Tatsey. He signed the document acknowledging an understanding of his conditions of supervision, which included mandatory condition number 2.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
| Violation Number | Nature of Noncompliance |
| 2 | Mandatory Condition #2: The defendant shall not commit another federal, state or local crime. |
| Supporting Evidence: Ryan Tatsey allegedly violated the terms of his supervised release by committing a new law violation, specifically 2nd Degree Rape, a Class A felony, in violation of RCW 9A.44.050, on or about April 20, 2022, in Spokane Washington. | |
| According to the Spokane Police Department (SPD) report in reference to case number 2022-20066271, an officer with the SPD was dispatched to Sacred Heart Medical Center (SHMC) on April 21, 2022, at approximately 8 p.m. | |
| The complainant, a SHMC nurse, reported a juvenile (age 14) rape victim had been sexually assaulted the evening prior by Ryan Tatsey, who is the father of a friend of the victim. On the evening on April 20, 2022, Ryan Tatsey supplied his underage daughter and her underage friend with alcohol. |
| The victim arrived at the hospital with a family member of the victim's friend. The victim was overheard speaking to her mom. The victim reported that she had been penetrated by Mr. Tatsey's fingers and penis, and that he had performed oral sex on her. The victim had reported that she was in and out of consciousness during the event. She further reported that she laid in bed for approximately 1 hour waiting for Mr. Tatsey to fall asleep. She then exited the bedroom and reported the incident to her friend's grandmother. | |
| It was reported that Mr. Tatsey was confronted by the grandmother and he had reportedly sped off in a vehicle. He was involved in a collision and it was speculated that he was attempting to kill himself. | |
| The victim did not want to file a report with law enforcement and left the hospital before law enforcement arrived. | |
| A sexual assault kit was completed. The kit and the clothing were placed into evidence. | |
| At the time of the SPD report, probable cause had not yet established, as a statement from the victim had not yet obtained. |
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court to incorporate the violations contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violations previously reported to the Court.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
