After seeing a murder suspect’s tats showing his love for Spokane, Wash. Dori Monson said he only wished the man was from another Washington town.

“My only regret is that this guy isn’t from Humptulips,” Monson tweeted.

Brandon Mellon, 26, was arrested after he accidentally shot himself when he reportedly thought he was getting pulled over by police.

Police say investigators had determined Mellon was a person of interest in a fatal shooting in Spokane and they were looking for him.

Mellon was taken to a hospital in Portland in critical condition.

The Spokesman-Review reports he’s under guard and will be returned to Spokane for the homicide case.

Humptulips is a town of 255 in Grays Harbor County.
