The Grant County Sheriff’s Office reports one suspect captured following a burglary has been identified, but other is still on the loose.
42-year-old man in Grant County jail
Thursday morning, two men broke into a duplex at 1237 Adair Street in Moses Lake in the 7 AM hour, and forced the resident, who had been sleeping, to go into the kitchen. They were able to call 9-1-1 and fled, as did one of the suspects. The two were armed with knives.
However, the other refused to exit the residence, and a four-hour-plus standoff occurred, involving the lockdown of two nearby elementary schools.
Finally, after the arrival of the Tactical Response Team, and a GCSO K-9 unit, the remaining suspect was located in the attic of the duplex. He was arrested without incident.
