RAW: Bodycam shows suspect pull knife on deputy
Bodycam video from the King County Sheriff’s Office shows the arrest of a suspect who pulled a knife on deputies and stabbed one of them in the arm.
SHORELINE, Wash. - Bodycam video from the King County Sheriff’s Office shows the arrest of a suspect who pulled a knife on deputies and stabbed one of them in the arm.
Daniel McCullough was arrested on Oct. 30, but released the very next day on $25,000 bail.
King County prosecutors have charged him with second-degree assault and felony harassment.
Man confronted over leaving van parked for days
The backstory:
Shoreline Police deputies responded to a 911 call at Thriftway Market on Ballinger Way NE that McCullough was threatening to slit the throat of a store manager who left a note on his van informing him that he had to move his bus that had been parked there for three or four days.
Deputies say he also screamed at another employee, "This is what’s going to happen. If he calls 911, I kill him, I kill the police, they kill me, everybody die today!"
Officers spotted him in the parking lot and ordered him to stop, but he refused. As deputies approached, he drew a knife from his sleeve and hit the deputy in the upper arm with the knife. The deputy tackled him to the ground.
Suspect skips court after assault charge
Timeline:
At his first appearance, prosecutors asked for the defendant’s bail to be set at $75,000. However, his bail was set at $25,000.
In Superior Court charging documents, prosecutors noted they do not believe $25,000 reflects the danger that the defendant poses to the community.
McCullough failed to appear for his arraignment on Nov. 5. Judge Nelson Lee issued a bench warrant for his arrest that raises his bail to $150,000 once he is caught.
If you see him, call 911. If you have information on where to find him, submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers for a reward of up to $1000. You can text a tip through the P3 Tips App or call 1-800-222-TIPS.
