Then, on Sunday, Mar. 1, deputies with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office arrested the man around 9:30 a.m. Law enforcement reports say information coming in the day prior proved helpful in tracking the suspect down to a home in the Port Townsend area.

The suspect reportedly exited the home on McPherson Street after officers made a perimeter around the home. To make the arrest, McPherson Street was shut down by law enforcement officers.
