EVERETT — A man released from the Snohomish County Jail Tuesday didn’t savor his freedom for long.
He was arrested a few hours later after allegedly stealing a purse from an 89-year-old woman at a Safeway on Broadway and knocking down the woman’s daughter as she tried to catch up with him. The daughter, 65, was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett with a hip injury.
The man, 22, was arrested in the 1500 block of McDougall Avenue after witnesses gave chase. When the suspect tried to hide under a car in an alley, one of the people who followed him held on to the man’s wrist until police could place him in handcuffs.
