BELLINGHAM, Wash. – A Bellingham man is charged with trying to blackmail a former girlfriend.
Everson Police Chief Daniel MacPhee says the woman reported that she had been in a relationship with Cratezz Graves but recently broke it off.
He didn’t take the break-up well and informed her that he had taken intimate video of her without her knowledge while they were dating.
He threatened to send the video to acquaintances and her employer if she didn’t pay him $10,000.
Everson Police contacted him Tuesday, August 16th, at his Bellingham home and he admitted to making the demand.
They arrested him on a charge of 2nd degree extortion.
