Bradfield faces several charges in connection with the December 18, 2019 incident in Pasco that left a man with significant injuries after Bradfield allegedly beat the victim with the stock of a Ruger 10/22 rifle until the rifle broke.

Pasco Police say Bradfield forced his way into a home in the 1700 block of W. Marie at about 3:00 AM prior to the assault.

He's also suspected of stealing a female victim’s cell phone, and busting out windows on the house and a vehicle as he fled the home.

Bradfield was booked into the Franklin County Jail on Assault and other charges.
