## Resource

A man on parole for a stabbing, Joe Vaughn Johnson, is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly attacking a woman with a propane tank at Olympia’s “Jungle” homeless encampment, leaving her with a severe head injury. Bystanders intervened before the assault ended. Johnson later barricaded himself in a public housing unit, started fires, and resisted arrest — prompting a SWAT response. Charged with assault, arson, and resisting arrest, he’s also wanted for failing to report for community supervision. Court ordered $1 million bail — impossible for his public defender to post — and he’s likely to return to prison for his prior conviction. The incident underscores escalating violence at the Jungle, as Olympia pushes for a coordinated, humane closure of the encampment to prevent future crises.
