Text: ¶ 8 On January 4, 2007, Pierce County Sheriff's Department deputies pulled over Howard Seaworth for driving a car with expired tags. Rachel Marie Vincent was Seaworth's passenger. A records check revealed a no-contact order prohibiting Vincent from contacting Seaworth. Vincent acknowledged she was aware of the no-contact order and had been arrested a few days prior for violating it. Vincent was again arrested for violating the no-contact order. ¶ 9 A Pierce County District Court judge found Vincent guilty in a stipulated facts trial, and Vincent appealed to Pierce County Superior Court. The superior court remanded the case with instructions to dismiss based on the Court of Appeals, Division Two decision in State v. Hogan, 145 Wash.App. 210, 192 P.3d 915 (2008). Hogan held that former RCW 26.50.110(1) (2000) only criminalized no-contact order violations if an arrest was required under RCW 10.31.100(2)(a) or (b). Accord State v. Madrid, 145 Wash.App. 106, 117, 192 P.3d 909 (2008). The superior court reasoned that Vincent's conduct did not warrant arrest under RCW 10.31.100(2)(a) or (b), so Vincent's no-contact order violation was not a crime. ¶ 10 The State petitioned this court for discretionary review, and we granted review, consolidating Vincent with Bunker. Division Two then published two opinions declining to follow its previous decisions in Hogan and Madrid, instead adopting Division One's Bunker analysis. State v. Wofford, 148 Wash.App. 870, 881, 201 P.3d 389 (2009); State v. Allen, 150 Wash.App. 300, 309, 207 P.3d 483 (2009). We agree with the Bunker court's results and affirm the defendants' criminal convictions.
