Everett, WA – Deputies arrested a 37-year-old suspect after a reported gun threat and narcotics seizure at two Everett motels, prompting multiple felony charges and a coordinated law enforcement response.
According to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began around 2 a.m. Sunday, March 22, when Deputy Bucholtz responded to Motel 6 on 128th Street SW. A suspect allegedly brandished a firearm, struck a female victim, and damaged property. A bystander who witnessed the assault was also allegedly threatened with the weapon.
Deputies were initially unable to locate the suspect. Hours later, deputies proactively identified and located the 37-year-old at the Extended Stay Hotel on 112th Street SE. Authorities said the suspect was initially uncooperative and retreated into a hotel room before eventually surrendering without further incident.
During the arrest, the suspect allegedly threw a bag from a hotel window. Deputies recovered the bag, which contained a large quantity of narcotics packaged for sale and a stolen firearm. Additional investigation revealed the suspect was prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior felony convictions.
Items recovered included fentanyl (24.5 grams), methamphetamine (11.2 grams), cocaine (13.5 grams), heroin (4.6 grams), Xanax pills, Suboxone strips, and other prepackaged substances.
The suspect was booked into the Snohomish County Jail on charges including unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, intent to deliver controlled substances, felony harassment, assault, brandishing a weapon, and malicious mischief.
The incident may affect nearby commuters and residents in the busy 128th Street and 112th Street corridors.
