CLALLAM COUNTY – Clallam County deputies arrested a Marysville man Saturday at the Seven Cedars Casino on a theft charge and for Possession of a Stolen Vehicle.
Suspect Conrad Edwards had driven a man he’d met, at the Tulalip Casino near Marysville, to Seven Cedars Casino in exchange for gas money. While Edwards was gassing up at The Longhouse Deli, the man went into the store. Edwards took that opportunity to drive off with the man’s backpack and all of his personal belongings, which was reported to the Sheriff’s office.
Saturday evening, casino employees spotted Edwards and the car and reported it to Deputy Don Kitchen, who arrested him as he was heading for the casino’s back door.
The vehicle that Edwards was driving was determined to have been stolen out of Snohomish County. A search warrant on the vehicle resulted in the recovery of most of the victim’s personal property.
It was later learned that Edwards had earlier assaulted someone in Lakewood, and upon leaving the scene, had been shot in the left buttock.
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in any information about Mr. Edwards’s series of criminal activity.
