PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles man who triggered a police standoff near Joyce last month is facing new charges for an alleged assault and robbery in the Clallam County jail.
Ordez Eugene Kompkoff was charged Thursday with first-degree robbery and second-degree assault for separate incidents involving a fellow inmate last week.
The alleged victim was left with a broken nose and numerous cuts and bumps on his face and body, Clallam County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Stoppani wrote in the affidavit for probable cause.
The man told investigators that Kompkoff, 21, entered his cell on or about Feb. 7 and took a sandwich and cookies from his sack lunch.
The alleged victim “tried stopping him,” Stoppani wrote in the arrest narrative.
“Kompkoff punched him in the mouth, splitting his lip wide open,” Stoppani said.
On Feb. 10, Kompkoff allegedly entered the same man’s jail cell, grabbed his commissary and “started hitting him in the face with his fists,” Stoppani wrote.
“As [the victim] stood up and tried to fight back, he was shoved into the bunk, hitting his back on the bunk.”
Victim injured
The man suffered a broken nose, bumps on his head and cheek, and cuts to his lower lip, between the eyes, right eye socket, nose and left elbow, according to the arrest report.
The fracture was confirmed by physicians at Olympic Medical Center.
Investigators found open packets of cookies, bloody rags and what appeared to be spots of blood in the alleged victim’s cell, Stoppani said.
Another inmate corroborated the alleged victim’s account in an interview with law enforcement last Friday, court papers said.
Kompkoff was moved to a higher-security cell block after the incidents were reported.
“He’s actually in segregation currently,” Jail Superintendent Ron Sukert said Thursday.
Kompkoff is awaiting a March 28 trial on charges related to a five-hour standoff with law enforcement at the Salt Creek RV Park on Jan. 26.
He pleaded not guilty Feb. 5 to first-degree kidnapping, second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, first-degree escape, heroin possession and two counts of harassment-threats to kill.
Deputies alleged that Kompkoff held a male acquaintance hostage at gunpoint inside a residence and threatened to shoot law enforcement officers, according to the affidavit for probable cause.
Deputies said Kompkoff was extremely intoxicated during the standoff, which ended with his surrender.
A loaded .357 revolver and a .380 semi-automatic pistol were found inside the residence at the RV park.
Work-release program
A warrant was issued for Kompkoff’s arrest last November after he failed to report for a work-release program in Kitsap County, state Department of Corrections officials have said.
The work release was part of Kompkoff’s sentence for a reported drive-by shooting on Orcas Avenue and a home invasion on East Ninth Street in Port Angeles last March.
Kompkoff is being held without bond.
He will be arraigned on the new charges at 9 a.m. next Friday.
