KENNEWICK — A man who is sought by the Kennewick Police Department was spotted in Moses Lake Wednesday.

The KPD is currently searching for 29-year-old Brian Massey on charges of escape from community custody by the Washington Department of Corrections and for failure to appear to a hearing in Franklin County. Massey’s original charges were for possession of a controlled substance and residential burglary.

The KPD reports Massey is last known to have resided in Soap Lake, but he also reportedly has ties to the Moses Lake area. A person contacted the Moses Lake Police Department Wednesday reporting they saw Massey walking in the city. Video surveillance taken in the area where Massey was spotted reportedly shows the suspect walking south on South Monroe Street about 2:30 p.m.

Massey is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 165 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has several tattoos, including a distinctive tattoo on his forehead that reads “Misunderstood,” as well as a tattoo on the right side of his neck.

People with information on Massey’s whereabouts are asked to contact the Kennewick Police Department at 509-628-0333 or contact Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
