Lakewood man arrested with disguise, duct tape in his trunk

Washington State Patrol troopers believe they prevented an assault or a possible abduction when they arrested a man with a disguise in his trunk.

A 26-year-old Bonny Lake woman was driving down 512 near the Puyallup Fair Grounds when she called 911 on Friday.

A black BMW had been on her tail since she had been at I-5 near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and would follow her through lane changes and as she traveled onto SR 512, and finally SR 410.

She was afraid to pullover. While staying on the line, she continued to give her location to Washington State Patrol Communications and the troopers moved into place around the cars.

When a trooper finally pulled up behind the BMW, it made an erratic turn into a grocery store parking lot. When the trooper talked to the driver, he said he was supposed to meet a friend at a restaurant, but couldn't remember the friend's name.

Troopers discovered that the woman had a protection order against the driver of the BMW, Aaron M. Johnson, her ex-boyfriend. He had been charged and posted bail after a domestic violence incident in Lacey. He had also been arrested on numerous felony charges including Burglary 1st Degree While Armed With A Deadly Weapon, Kidnapping 1st Degree While Armed With A Deadly Weapon, Rape 1st Degree While Armed With A Deadly Weapon, and Felony Harassment.

He's now been charged with violating the protection order.

Troopers searched Johnson's car only to discover a woman's wig, some oversized sunglasses, a pair of black gloves, and a roll of duct tape.

"[Johnson] has some very serious charges in front of him," said Trooper Guy Gill, "and he's exactly where he needs to be, right in jail."

    Not the polices fault, but a problem with society. Need to all agree on stronger punishment. No forgiveness for rape.

    Rapists should be publicly raped.

    Lets watch rapists get butt-reamed by big muscle-bound masculine sodomites.

    The crime would occur less often if punishment was meted out in a public spectacle. The fountain at the Seattle Center would be a good stage.

    And after the rapists have been sodomized, slide a glass stick up their schlongs and smash both their schlong and the rod with a hammer.

    that she was paying attention. Be your own protector by any means necessary. Most people would have driven home or been oblivious to the danger.

    Good observation(s) by the victim...

    ...and good police work by WSP. I can guarantee this guy was up to no good. Now we'll see his attorney say he was just an innocent man, misunderstood, and it was just a REALLY early Halloween costume and he had REALLY leaky heat ducts.

    Though in his case that may be true, but what about the two that were just found innocent of the charge after the women confessed they lied? What are you going to tell them....opps?

    I hear you Whidbeyboy. It would only be in extreme cases when there is no doubt. Not just he said she said.

    I think a Czar would be in order. Someone like me who could dole out the castration penalty fairly :)
