Two arrested in attack on Tigard man they met through Craigslist

WASHOUGAL, Wash. -- Deputies arrested two people for the suspected involvement in the attack and robbery of a man they met through Craigslist.

Tigard police spokesman Jim Wolf said in late October a man entered the victim's home and pulled out a pistol then beat the victim, who was later bound with duct tape and plastic ties.

The victim's truck was also stolen, but it was later found abandoned.

On Sunday Clark County deputies found and arrested Michael Johansen for assault, robbery, theft, firearms charges and several outstanding warrants. Officers said he was in possession of marijuana and a loaded .38 caliber pistol.

Investigators on Tuesday were led to a home where they arrested 31-year-old Jamie Sweany on a fugitive from justice warrant.

The victim was treated for his injuries at a hospital and released.
