This followed his arrest after a six hour standoff between the man and Everett Police plus the Region 1 SWAT Team Sunday night.
According to a probable cause statement filed by Everett Police, about 8:20 PM officers were called to an apartment in the 200 block of West Casino Road in south Everett by a woman who claimed her adult son had pointed a pistol at her face. The officer wrote that the woman feared for her safety and had an existing protection order against her son.
Everett Police verified the protection order between the son and mother which reportedly prohibited any contact, set a limit of 1000 feet between the two and ordered the son not to possess any firearms.
While the mother went to a safe location Everett Police observed the son inside the apartment. They attempted to have the son come out and he refused. Due to the weapon, some nearby apartments were evacuated and other residents were asked to shelter in place.
The Region 1 SWAT Team was contacted and a warrant to arrest the son and seize any firearms was issued by a Judge. Around 2:00 AM SWAT used an irritant inside the apartment and the suspect came out and surrendered. The suspect was booked into the Snohomish County Jail and officers noted they found a loaded pistol in the apartment.
There were no reports of injuries and residents were able to go back to their apartments.
It will now be up to the Snohomish County Prosecutor to file charges within three days or the man will be released.
