MOSES LAKE – A Moses Lake man was arrested Friday on suspicion of threatening to burn down a home he co-owned with a woman, reportedly complying with police only after K9 intervention, police said.

Travis Haug, 31, was booked into Grant County Jail on charges of resisting arrest, third-degree malicious mischief and felony harassment, according to police officials.

Officers responded to the 2100 block of West Peninsula Drive shortly after 7 a.m. for a report that Haug had punched a hole in a wall of the residence after the co-owner told him to leave. Officers initially advised the reporting party about her legal options and cleared the scene.

At around 8:45 a.m., officers were called out to the house again after Haug allegedly barricaded himself in the woman’s room, refusing to leave and threatening to burn the house down. Moses Lake police officers commanded Haug to exit the building, but he reportedly refused to comply.

K9 handler Nick Overland of Grant County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the scene with K9 Chewie to back up city police, helping to clear the residence and warning Haug to surrender himself before the dog forced compliance.

Haug reportedly gave himself up after the arrival of the K9 unit, according to Moses Lake police Captain Mike Williams.
