One of South Whidbey’s most wanted is in police custody this week.

Christian Shorey, 34, was arrested in Forks on Sunday after allegedly burglarizing a bar. He was arraigned Thursday in Clallam County Superior Court, and is facing charges of second-degree burglary and theft in the second degree — both felonies.

He’s being held in the Clallam County Corrections Facility in Port Angeles on $10,000 bail.

Shorey has been on the lam in Island County for months. He is a person of interest in the September armed robbery of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton, and is also wanted on a $10,000 felony warrant for Burglary second degree and failure to appear in court.

It’s unclear just when Shorey will make it back to Island County to face charges here, but Sheriff Mark Brown said he was confident it will happen at some point.

“I can’t see that not happening,” Brown said. “The question is when.”

“The good news is he’s in custody,” he added.

Shorey was arrested Sunday morning in the Rain Forest Mobile Home Park near the south end of Forks. City police were investigating the burglary of the nearby Blakeslee’s Bar and Grill the evening before, and observed Shorey acting suspiciously at a trailer.

Officers obtained a search warrant and found Shorey, $2,000 cash and alcohol from the bar inside, according to the Forks Forum. A second person may also have been involved in the crime, but the investigation remains ongoing.

The suspects in the burglary allegedly attempted to disable security cameras at the bar, but failed and footage and shoe prints tied Shorey to the crime.

In a South Whidbey Record story last week about the Clinton Wells Fargo bank robbery investigation, Brown said detectives had established three people of interest in the case but declined to release their identities for fear of driving them into hiding. Now that Shorey’s been apprehended and is in police custody, Brown confirmed Thursday that Shorey was indeed one of three people of interest.

At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believed it was his voice on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist. Police believe it was a diversionary tactic to draw officers away from Clinton, giving the robber more time to hit the bank and make a getaway.

Shorey’s father, Matt Shorey, said his son’s whereabouts have been unknown to the family for some time, and that he also was grateful the man is finally in police custody.

“At least he’s off the streets,” he said.
