Arriving officers were told that three males had come to an apartment and demanded to talk with another juvenile believed to be inside. The males were not allowed in, made threats, and displayed handguns when told to go away. The three left prior to police arriving.
Based on victim interviews and witness statements, probable cause for felony harassment was established for all three who were identified as 17 year-olds living in Everett.
During the search for the suspects, one was found and arrested at Mariner High School by the School Resource Officer, a Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office deputy. This arrest initiated a short school lock-down. The second suspect was arrested outside an apartment at 12102 4th Ave W. as the third ran inside. Officers surrounded the areas and the third male surrendered to police at about 3:00 p.m.
Detectives believe the incident was gang-related and are continuing to investigate.
No injuries were reported from the initial incident or ensuing arrests.
While at 12102 4th Ave W., two additional males were contacted and arrested for outstanding warrants. The males are 19 and 16 years-old but neither were associated with the original incident.
