Cowlitz County officials announced that Robert Grant has been sentenced to 33 months in prison following his conviction on two counts of felony harassment. The sentence was handed down on February 10, 2026, according to an official county press release available at the Cowlitz County Citizen Resource Center.

Grant was found guilty by a jury in December 2025 after a trial in Cowlitz County Superior Court. Felony harassment under Washington law typically involves threats that place another person in reasonable fear of serious harm. The county’s announcement did not specify additional details of the underlying conduct, but confirmed that the case proceeded through a full trial before sentencing.

Felony harassment cases in Washington State are prosecuted under RCW 9A.46, which elevates the charge to a felony when specific conditions—such as prior offenses, weapon involvement, or threats to kill—are met. Sentences vary depending on criminal history and the circumstances of the offense, but a 33‑month term places this case at the higher end of standard sentencing ranges for such convictions.

The sentencing marks the latest development in a case that moved through the county court system over the past year. Court proceedings, including jury trial and sentencing, were conducted under the supervision of Cowlitz County Superior Court, the primary trial court for felony-level offenses.

Why this matters

Felony harassment cases can carry significant implications for public safety and community confidence in the justice system. Sentences such as this one signal how local courts apply state law in cases involving threats of violence. They also highlight the role of jury trials in determining outcomes for serious criminal charges in Cowlitz County.
