September shooting suspect arrested at south Everett motel

A few weeks ago, members of the Violent Crimes Reduction Unit (VCRU) saw a man driving a vehicle with no front plate and a stolen rear plate attached to the vehicle. The man was detained, and investigators determined the suspect had multiple misdemeanor warrants, for which he was arrested.

The suspect was booked for his warrants, and the vehicle was impounded for a search warrant. During the search, a stolen firearm was found inside a bag on the driver’s seat. Probable cause was developed to charge the man with first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. However, the suspect had already been released from jail.

Last week, members of VCRU found the man at a motel in south Everett. While officers were trying to arrest the man, he threatened officers and had assaultive behavior.

Once again, the man was booked on probable cause for first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm resulting from the search warrant and additional charges.

Officers said he is also the suspect in a September shooting in Everett.
