Alleged Bainbridge burglar faces charges throughout region

Island suspect charged with identity theft, drug possession and selling stolen property.

The man accused of stealing nearly everything from inside a south Bainbridge Island home awaits a day in court for multiple charges stemming from the case.

Clayton Charles Stanley, 20, of Poulsbo remains in Kitsap County Jail while waiting to appear in Kitsap County District Court for a status hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 13 for charges of burglary and trafficking stolen property.

Stanley allegedly emptied a home on Beans Bight Road of almost all its contents and sold the stolen property at second-hand shops in the area.

But the island incident may be only the latest in a string of crimes committed by the alleged burglar. He also faces multiple other charges for alleged crimes throughout the area.

Stanley was in court on July 22 for a traffic charge. He also faces charges in Poulsbo for trafficking stolen property. A court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 22 in that case.

Stanley also faces more charges stemming from an encounter with Kitsap County sheriff deputies. He will be in court on Aug. 22 again on charges of identity theft and possession of drugs.

Two status hearings were scheduled for the Bainbridge Island case. The first status hearing on July 30 did not move the case along any further. After his status hearing on Aug. 13, Stanley may submit a plea.

The hearing may also result in Stanley’s case continuing in district court, or being sent to Kitsap County Superior Court.
