Mill Creek, Washington – A suspect was located after allegedly fleeing into dense brush in Mill Creek.
According to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, the incident unfolded in the 900 block of 164th Street SE, where a suspect allegedly ran on foot into thick vegetation near a creek. Deputies, including Deputy Byrd, Deputy Duran and K9 Dico, tracked the individual with assistance from a drone operator from the Marysville Police Department.
The sheriff’s office said newly released body-camera footage shows deputies pushing through blackberry bushes, thorns and heavy foliage while searching the area. At one point, deputies moved down the middle of a creek, where water levels were deep enough to nearly require swimming. Officials described visibility as minimal, with dense vegetation slowing forward progress and making the search physically demanding.
Authorities credited teamwork and coordination among patrol deputies, the K9 unit and drone operators for helping locate the suspect. The sheriff’s office did not immediately release the suspect’s name or potential charges.
The incident highlights how aerial technology is increasingly used in local law enforcement operations, particularly in areas where terrain and visibility create challenges. For commuters and nearby residents, the search activity may have drawn noticeable law enforcement presence in the neighborhood.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional details may be released as they become available.
