Snohomish County, WA – A 30-year-old fugitive from Louisiana was arrested Tuesday, October 28, by the Violent Offender Task Force (VOTF) after allegedly failing to register as a sex offender, authorities said.
According to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, the man had been living in the Lakewood and Marysville areas since 2023 while wanted on an active warrant from Louisiana for more than two years. Investigators say the suspect failed to comply with mandatory sex offender registration requirements during that time.
The VOTF located and apprehended the fugitive without incident, booking him into the Snohomish County Jail. Officials credited coordinated efforts across agencies for successfully locating the wanted individual.
“The Violent Offender Task Force demonstrated great diligence and teamwork in taking this offender into custody,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The case remains under investigation, and the suspect is expected to face extradition proceedings to Louisiana.
