Bedtime reading time with his son took a 鈥渢raumatic鈥� turn for Clint Berquist when an intruder who appeared 鈥渁bsolutely out of his mind鈥� began forcing his way into the family鈥檚 Seattle Georgetown neighborhood home Sunday night evening.

Also disturbing? When Berquist learned that a King County District Court judge ignored a prosecutor鈥檚 request that would have held the eventually apprehended intruder on $100,000 bail. Instead, the Dori Monson Show discovered, Judge Protem Justin Walsh released the home invader.

鈥淒id you know that?鈥� Dori asked Berquist.

鈥淣o,鈥� the Georgetown man said. 鈥淥ne of the failings of the system is that it consistently fails the victims. . . The only way I鈥檓 getting information is from the press. The way that I鈥檓 hearing this is from you guys.鈥�

Meanwhile, Berquist shared details of Sunday鈥檚 break-in with Dori and his listeners.

It started with glass breaking near their front door while the Georgetown dad was reading with his 11-year-old. With his wife and son upstairs, Berquist said, he dashed down to the home鈥檚 entry where he used one hand to try holding the door back against a man forcing his way inside while calling 911 with the other.

The intruder, who kept screaming that someone 鈥渨as trying to get him鈥� appeared 鈥渁bsolutely out of his mind,鈥� Berquist continued.

At first, the dad鈥檚 plan was 鈥渄e-escalate (the situation). I was thinking that if I can get him outside, at least the cops can deal with it.鈥�

Seconds later, the intruder was 鈥渞unning up the stairs鈥� where Berquist鈥檚 wife and son were calling for help. 鈥淚 tackled him . . . and was trying to get ahold of him as much as I could but he was really wiry.

鈥淎nd then, all of a sudden, he was gone,鈥� Berquist described. 鈥淚t took me a second to make the connection, but my neighbor had grabbed ahold of his ankle and carted him outside.鈥�

Home security footage shows neighbors dragging the intruder outside of the house to the sidewalk where he began running away.

鈥淲hen the police eventually showed up, he was trying to break into another neighbor鈥檚 house down the street,鈥� Berquist added.

Berquist praised his neighbors, whom he calls 鈥渁 really tight-knit group of people.鈥� Part of their shared problem, he said, is that Georgetown gets 鈥渄umped with a lot of problems. It鈥檚 been consistent since the time I鈥檝e lived here. It鈥檚 a theme in our neighborhood.鈥�

Dori believes the judge鈥檚 choice to release the intruder reflects that.

鈥淚t sounds like he (the intruder) is a paranoid/schizophrenic,鈥� Dori said. 鈥淭he King County Prosecutors Office tells us that they requested $100,000 bail because he鈥檚 a homeless guy and they know he won鈥檛 reappear for his next court case. They wanted to keep him locked up because he鈥檚 a danger to the community. They knew this but the judge 鈥� he鈥檚 a fairly new judge, Justin Walsh 鈥� he let him walk.

鈥淚 cannot believe that we have so many people in the system who are willing to put you and your neighbors and the community at risk,鈥� Dori told Berquist.

鈥淵ou hit on it,鈥� the home invasion victim responded. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if it was mental illness or meth . . . (but) I want to know that this guy gets on the road to rehab.鈥�

And how are his wife and son handling this? Dori wanted to know.

鈥淭his was a traumatic experience for all of us,鈥� Berquist said. 鈥淓ven though it ended as good as it possibly could, it was physical combat. We weren鈥檛 hurt. This guy wasn鈥檛 hurt. I don鈥檛 want anything bad to happen to anybody.鈥�
