Deputies are looking for a Thurston County man following a beating last night of a 52-year-old Lacey resident.
William R. Bellamy
The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office says the victim was lured to an address on the 9600 block of Old Highway 99 south of Tumwater under the pretense of performing some contract work about 8:30 p.m. yesterday.
When he arrived, he was knocked to the ground, punched and kicked sustaining broken bones, including in his face, according to the sheriff’s office.
William R. Bellamy, 54, who is wanted for second-degree assault, was last known to live in Lacey, sheriff’s Lt. Greg Elwin said.
Bellamy drove the injured man to an Olympia hospital and dropped him at the emergency room, according to Elwin.
Elwin said he believed the incident was related to them both seeing the same woman.
The victim is recovering at Capital Medical Center.
Elwin is asking anyone who knows Bellamy’s whereabouts to call 911, and anyone with information about the assault is asked to phone the sheriff’s office at 360-786-5500 or 360-704-2740.
