VANCOUVER, Wa. (KGW) —The estranged girlfriend of a serial robbery suspect was arrested Thursday, March 8, and said she will tell the truth to investigators, according to a police document obtained by KGW, News Channel 8 in the nation’s northwest.
Marjorie Reyes, 25, of Vancouver, was arrested without incident at an apartment she often shared with Jimmy Kashi.
Just moments earlier, police captured Kashi, a suspect in at least 11 armed robberies around the Portland and Vancouver Metro areas. They had been tracking his every move since he showed up at Reyes’ apartment and moved in for the arrest shortly after Kashi drove off in his SUV.
Back at the apartment, Reyes talked to police and gave them permission to conduct a search. The police report stated that she told Officer Bryan Acee with the Vancouver Police Department that she thought Kashi “did the robbery across the street.”
She went on to say that “she believed in being truthful with people and was not a liar” and also showed officers where she had two stashes of drugs — meth and ecstasy.
In addition to the drugs, police said they found Kool cigarettes in Reyes’ apartment and noted in the police report that Kool cigarettes were stolen in the recent armed robberies.
Reyes told officer Acee that she smoked Kool cigarettes and Kashi smoked Kool Lites.
She said she had known Kashi for several years and both were from the small island of Saipan. She said she began dating him in Oct. of 2006, but the two had recently broken up. Reyes said she had a restraining order on her couch that she planned to fill out, to keep him from coming to her apartment, where he currently spent “90-percent” of his time.
In the police report, investigators said they believe Kashi had “at least one accomplice in the robberies” and may have had more, “ including a female.”
Reyes has not been charged with any crimes related to the robberies. But she was booked in the Clark County Jail for possession of a controlled substance.
Reyes said she has two children and wants to move to Hawaii. She asked Acee if she could be put into a drug treatment program.
