Joshua Wadsworth: Wanted felon accused of kicking pregnant woman in stomach, violently holding her hostage article
WANTED IN KING COUNTY - The search is for a convicted felon accused of kicking a pregnant woman in the stomach.
King County Sheriff's detectives say Joshua Wadsworth assaulted the mother of his 8 ½ month old baby for hours as he held her hostage inside his home in SeaTac last November.
"He kept her against her will inside that home overnight, repeatedly beating her every time she attempted to leave. The next morning, now the day before Thanksgiving, she's able to flee, goes to a neighbor's home where she's able to call 911. I'm just deeply troubled that a woman would sustain this abuse overnight. We need to absolutely get him in custody," said King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Tim Meyer.
A Connellsville man was arrested by state police Friday, accused of firing two shots from a handgun at a vehicle Thursday.
Mark Joshua Wadsworth, 24, of 224 E. Apple St., allegedly drove his vehicle into a gravel pull off area on Rich Hill Road.
Destiny Ohler, driving behind his vehicle, attempted to pass him, and related to police that she saw Wadsworth holding a silver handgun, according to court paperwork filed in the case.
Ohler allegedly heard two gun shots as she passed his vehicle, and her vehicleâs back left tire became deflated.
State police reported that Wadsworth admitted to firing two shots in the direction of Ohlerâs vehicle. Madison Kendi, a passenger in Wadsworthâs vehicle, said she saw Wadsworth retrieve the handgun from his backpack and discharge two rounds toward Ohlerâs vehicle, according to police.
