Bail set and release ordered for 2 arrested in Aldrich Road robbery and car theft

WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — David Henry Jackson Jr., 57, and Blanca Estella Jackson, 58, appeared in Whatcom County Superior Court on October 26, 2026, following their arrests in connection with an incident on Aldrich Road.

The court proceedings follow arrests made by WCSO deputies on October 25, 2026, at a residence on Hertel Way in Everson. Deputies arrested the pair during an investigation into an October 22 incident in the 4900 block of Aldrich Road, where a man was assaulted and his vehicle taken during a test drive arranged through an online classified advertisement.

During a preliminary appearance for David Jackson, the court found probable cause for detention on charges of 1st-degree robbery, 2nd-degree assault and theft of a motor vehicle. Prosecutors requested bail of $150,000, while defense counsel requested release on personal recognizance. Bail was set by the court at $100,000 or a $10,000 cash alternative. The court ordered a pre-trial condition prohibiting possession of weapons and issued a no-contact order regarding the victim.

In a separate appearance on October 26, 2026, the court informed Blanca Jackson of the charges, found probable cause for detention and determined she did not qualify for court-appointed counsel. The court issued a no-contact order regarding the victim and an order to surrender weapons, directing the immediate surrender of firearms, other weapons, and concealed pistol licenses to the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO). A compliance review hearing was scheduled for November 19, 2026.

According to court filings, a $10,000 bail deposit was recorded for Blanca Jackson on October 26, 2026. On October 27, 2026, a notice of release was filed for David Jackson after Blanca Jackson posted $10,000 cash bail.
