CASE UPDATE

On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, Brandon Leigh Brisco appeared for arraignment. He is now charged with assault of a child in the first degree and endangerment with a controlled substance.

The Moxee Police Department does not typically release the names of suspects until they are charged in court by the prosecutor’s office.

Brisco remains in custody at the Yakima County jail.

There has been a large amount of support for this baby, so we wanted to provide some update on this case.

The baby has been placed in a loving foster home, and we continue to keep in contact with the foster family regarding the progress of the baby’s recovery.

There have also been a lot of questions surrounding the circumstances of the case and some misinformation has been shared.

Although we do not have all the questions answered at this point here is a timeline of what we do know from our investigation.

On September 17, 2026, Moxee Officers were sent to check the baby’s welfare. When Officers arrived, the baby was in custody of the father Brandon Leigh Brisco. There was a representative from a parent advocacy group on scene with the baby and Brisco.

Officers were informed that the baby’s mother had been “Asked to leave the home”. We do not know at this point who had asked her to leave, but when Officers arrived she was gone from the scene.

Due to our knowledge of Brisco’s criminal history we contacted a DCYF supervisor familiar with the case by telephone and were advised that they were aware of the situation, aware of Brisco’s criminal history, and that they were monitoring the situation moving forward.

At that point, Officers cleared as there were no allegations of a crime, and there were no further actions available for Officers to take.

The next notification to the Moxee Police Department was the call at 1:00 AM on October 10, 2026, when MultiCare Mary Bridge hospital notified us of the potential abuse of the baby, a criminal investigation was immediately started, and Brisco was arrested approximately three hours later. That investigation is on-going.

Today, September 22, 2026, Teddy Lee Craven was found guilty of R**e of a Child in the Second Degree following a complex and sensitive investigation initiated by the Moxee Police Department in November 2023.

This case required nearly three years of persistence, detailed investigative work, forensic analysis, and close coordination among Moxee Police Department personnel, the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory, Yakima County Child Advocacy Center, and the Yakima County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

We are proud of the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork demonstrated by everyone who contributed to the successful investigation and prosecution of this case.

We are pleased to share that we had a very safe and fun 2026 Hop Festival!

This year, you may have noticed some changes in how we protected the event. During last year’s festival, there was a significant increase in fights within the park, particularly in the darker areas near the playground. Several knives were also dropped in the area where these fights occurred.

The Moxee Police Department’s primary focus this year was preventing those problems from continuing and creating a safer environment for everyone and we accomplished that goal. We increased law enforcement presence throughout the park and utilized a mobile command post during the event.

We could not have accomplished this without the tremendous support of our partner agencies, including the Yakima County Sheriff's Office and the Yakima Police Department, Sunnyside Police Department, Selah Police Department, and Union Gap Police Department.

The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office provided personnel and equipment to help keep the event safe, and we cannot thank them enough.

The Yakima Valley Emergency Management also provided equipment to support our safety efforts, and the East Valley School District #90 allowed us to use the Moxee Elementary as a staging area and mobile command post.

We have seen social media posts regarding the use of Flock cameras during the event, including questions about the placement of some of the cameras. We would like to provide some clarification.

The camera trailers used during the festival were temporary and brought in specifically for this event. These trailers did not contain license plate reader cameras. The cameras were no different from the camera trailers commonly used at retail stores and other businesses. They were placed near the park’s primary entrances and in areas where problems had occurred during previous events. We also added lighting in these areas as an additional measure to help prevent problems. Once the festival ended, the camera trailers were returned.

Fortunately, footage from the cameras was not needed because we experienced very few problems, and the issues that did occur were minor.

The Moxee Police Department sincerely thanks all our community and law enforcement partners who helped make the 2026 Hop Festival a safe and enjoyable event. We appreciate everyone who attended and contributed to its success, and we look forward to next year’s Hop Festival!

Thank you!
