PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles man charged for holding another man hostage at gunpoint during a police standoff in January has rejected a plea offer, court papers said.
Ordez Eugene Kompkoff, 21, is charged with 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 for the Jan. 26 standoff at the Salt Creek RV Park west of Port Angeles.
He rejected a plea offer Friday, according to the minutes of a status hearing.
A three-day trial, which is now scheduled to begin March 28, is slated to be reset at 1:30 p.m. Friday.
Kompkoff will have a psychiatric evaluation prior to the trial.
Clallam County sheriff’s deputies alleged that an intoxicated Kompkoff held an acquaintance hostage at gunpoint and threatened to shoot law enforcement officers.
Investigators found a loaded .357 revolver and a .380 semi-automatic pistol inside the residence after a five-hour standoff that closed a portion of state Highway 112.
Kompkoff, a convicted felon who was wanted for skipping a work release program in Kitsap County, was prohibited from possessing firearms.
Kompkoff is charged in a separate case with first-degree robbery and second-degree assault for alleged attacks on a fellow Clallam County jail inmate on Feb. 7 and Feb. 10.
Investigators said Kompkoff broke a man’s nose and robbed him of food and personal effects.
A trial for the alleged jail robbery and assault is scheduled for April 25.
Kompkoff has maintained his innocence in both cases.
He is being held without bond.
