Marysville – 09/11/17, 4:22 AM

An early morning suspicious person contact resulted in the arrest of a 36-year-old transient man, a two-vehicle collision, and one Marysville Officer treated at the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

At about 4:22 AM, a Marysville Patrol Officer contacted a male outside a residence in the 1000 block of Alder Avenue. During the contact, the officer spotted drug paraphernalia in the man’s car and attempted to place him under arrest. The man resisted, and was able to get back into his vehicle while fighting with the arresting officer. The suspect put his vehicle in reverse and rapidly backed into the roadway, dragging the officer with his car and striking the patrol vehicle of a second officer who had arrived to assist.

The suspect vehicle then collided with a second unoccupied parked vehicle. The suspect was taken into custody shortly afterward.

Both the suspect and arresting officer were taken to Providence Colby Campus Hospital, where they were treated and released. The officer, age 30, who has been with the department for three years, sustained a broken finger and bruised hip. The suspect, after being medically evaluated, was transported to the Marysville Police Department and is expected to be booked at the Snohomish County Jail for multiple charges pending completion of investigation at the scene.
