LYNNWOOD — The man who died in a motorcycle crash Monday night was identified as Joseph D. Jackson, 28, of Everett, the Snohomish County medical examiner said.
Jackson died from head injuries, the medical examiner said. His death was ruled accidental.
Just before 8 p.m. Monday, Jackson’s 2006 Harley-Davidson crashed into a concrete sign post at the intersection of 140th Street SW and 64th Avenue W., Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. He died at the scene.
Crash detectives were investigating whether Jackson was wearing a helmet and whether speed was a factor in the crash, she said.
@3. Headline News Briefs 14 no:Alleged coin thief charged in Everett
A man accused of stealing about $450,000 from grocery store coin-counting machines in three states was charged Tuesday with first-degree theft in Everett District Court.
Michael R. Burns, 39, allegedly ripped off the machines while working for Coinstar Inc. The machines convert loose change into cash. Burns, of Maple Valley in King County, wore a company uniform when he walked into stores and used inside knowledge to break into the kiosks, according to court documents.
When police arrested Burns on Friday, they confiscated around $130,000 in cash along with high-priced electronics and a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the documents said. Detectives still haven’t accounted for thousands of dollars more that are missing.
Police were alerted after loss prevention officers at Bellevue-based Coinstar discovered thefts at several of their kiosks.
A judge on Monday ordered Burns held on $250,000 bail.
Prosecutors have until May 30 to file charges in Snohomish County Superior Court.
