WENATCHEE — A multi-agency operation has led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man suspected of multiple counts of forgery, identity theft, and robbery across two counties.
Dennis Mendez of Cashmere was apprehended on July 23 by the Columbia River Drug Task Force, according to a press release from the Wenatchee Police Department. Mendez was initially sought on an outstanding warrant from the Washington State Department of Corrections.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Wenatchee Police Department, Chelan County Sheriff's Office, and East Wenatchee Police Department, had developed probable cause to believe Mendez was responsible for a string of crimes committed over a period of just a few weeks in Chelan and Douglas Counties.
The alleged offenses include multiple instances of forgery and identity theft and a robbery within the city limits of East Wenatchee. Mendez was booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center on an outstanding warrant and faces additional charges of theft, identity theft, forgery, and robbery.
