BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — A man accused of a home invasion robbery in 2011 in which a man was struck with an ax and later died has pleaded guilty and was sentenced to over 17 years in prison.
The Kitsap Sun reports Daniel Farley pleaded guilty to robbery and manslaughter last week in the death of William Johnston. After the robbery near Bremerton, Farley and others are believed to have taken Johnston’s coin collection to a Tacoma pawn shop.
Lewis says the group sold some coins, bought methamphetamines and buried the remaining valuables in South Kitsap. He says they were afterward apparently unable to locate the coins. In 2016 a homeowner found them and turned them over to detectives.
