Everett: Police seeking two suspects

Camano Island: Deputy charged
A veteran Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant has been charged with two counts of telephone harassment.
Sgt. Michael Thompson, 40, pleaded not guilty earlier this week to allegations that he made a harassing phone call to a man and the man’s estranged wife, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said.
Thompson is on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation by Snohomish County sheriff’s officials, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover.
He was put on leave on Aug. 23. Thompson has been with the sheriff’s office for 18 years.
“We take this very seriously. We’re conducting our own internal investigation,” Hover said.
A man complained to Island County sheriff’s deputies that on Aug. 22 Thompson made a threatening phone call to him after he told Thompson’s wife that Thompson was having an affair with the man’s estranged wife, Banks said. Thompson also allegedly made a harassing phone call to the man’s estranged wife, Banks said.
The case is scheduled to go to trial Dec. 10.
