Description
A man accused of injuring two Puyallup police officers during a five-hour standoff was armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, according to probable cause documents.
Muelu Salanoa Jr., 37, was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary, felony harassment, violation of a court order and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
He pleaded not guilty Thursday. His bail was set at $2 million.
The standoff began Jan. 24 when Puyallup police officers responded to the River Trail Apartments around 1:17 p.m. after a woman reported Salanoa, who is her estranged boyfriend, forced his way into her apartment and threatened to shoot her. Salanoa was hiding in a closet, the woman said.
The woman had two no-contact orders against Salanoa in 2021 and 2022, according to probable cause documents.
