County


WSP Trooper killed

On March 2, a state patrol trooper parked on the right shoulder of southbound Interstate 5 near 136th Street North about one mile north of Marysville (milepost 203) was killed when a high-speed motorist in a SUV veered off and struck the rear end of the trooper’s patrol Ford Explorer at 3 a.m.
The trooper was identified as Trooper Chris Gadd, 27, who had a wife and a 2-year-old child.
The suspect, a 32-year-old Lynnwood man driving the SUV, was arrested and transported to Snohomish County Jail where he was booked for vehicular homicide. He had smoked marijuana and had drank alcohol; 3½ hours after the crash he blew a 0.047 on a breathalyzer, according to a police report obtained by the Everett Herald.
The Lynnwood man’s SUV was hit by a second motorist in a van, the sheriff’s office reported. The driver was hurt; five passengers in the van were not injured.

“Jail phone call” scam
A new scam is circulating where callers are informing people their loved one is in the Snohomish County Jail and demanding payment via Zelle to have the individual released from the county jail facility.
This is a scam.
No law enforcement officer or judicial court employee will ever call you to demand money.


Three marijuana stores burglarized Sunday
On Jan. 21, the marijuana store Tulalip Remedy and two others were burglarized in ram-and-grab incidents. Tulalip Police said a 2010s-era Hyundai Sonata was used to bust through the front of Tulalip Remedy, 8226 Quil Ceda Boulevard. Seven suspects ransacked the store, ran to a red Kia parked nearby and drove off. The same red Kia was involved in two more marijuana store burglaries in south Snohomish County that night, Tulalip Police said.
The Kia’s license plate is Washington plate CKP7822.
Detectives believe the Hyundai was stolen and are trying to contact the owner.
The Tulalip Tribe has put up a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the thieves. People can call in tips to 360-716-5990 or write to Detective David Sallee at dsallee@tulaliptribalpolice.org or 360-716-5962 or Detective Alyshia Ramon at aramon@tulaliptribalpolice.org or 360-716-5963.

Fraudulent calls
Monroe Police emphasizes that legitimate law enforcement agencies do not conduct investigations where they request personal funds or sensitive information over the phone. A Monroe business fell for a fraud call along these lines.


ATM skimmers
Everett financial crimes detectives have noted an increase in “skimmer” devices attached to ATMs to steal debit card information.
They say if the card reader seems loose, crooked, or damaged, if the graphics aren’t aligned, or if part of the machine is a different color, don’t insert or swipe your card. Also, if the numbers are hard to press or feel thick, it might have a false keypad installed and you should move on to the next machine. Using the “tap” option for payment or a mobile wallet such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay is safer than inserting a card.


Real-time 911 updates introduced

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office recently announced technology to send 911 callers text message updates on their situation.
The technology can advise callers of a delayed response time and provide handy follow-up information, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. After an incident, people will get surveys, too.
This includes the Snohomish Police Department, too!
