Wanted Suspect, Joshua W. Seth, Arrested
This morning, at approximately 9:15 am., several Spokane County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the 3800 block of S. Geiger BLVD for a “tip” that wanted suspect 30-year-old Joshua W. Seth, considered armed and dangerous, was possibly in the area.
Deputies located the room Seth was believed to be in and surrounded the location.
Sergeant Hansen contacted the individuals inside the room and confirmed Seth was inside. The three, including Seth, followed commands and slowly exited the room with their hands visible. Deputy Hays, Deputy Moffett, Deputy Carlos, and Sergeant Hansen safely detained all three, pending identification and additional investigation.
Seth’s identification was confirmed, and he was advised he was under arrest. The two additional people detained could face charges pending what is learned as this investigation continues.
