TULALIP — A 44-year-old Seattle man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail Tuesday night on investigation of second-degree assault after he allegedly tried to slash a Tulalip tribal member with a box knife.
The suspect confronted the 26-year-old victim at 64th Avenue and Totem Beach Road, Tulalip Tribes Police Chief J.A. "Jay" Goss said Wednesday. The suspect went to the victim’s home at 6:15 p.m. and swung the knife several times at the victim, he said. The Seattle man was angry over the Tulalip man’s relationship with a woman, Goss said.
Tribal police turned the Seattle man over to deputies since he was not a tribal member.
The suspect was released from prison in January and remained under restrictions that prohibited him from leaving King County, Goss said.
