KCSO said they are looking for and have probable cause to arrest Shaun A. Tubbs on multiple felony charges. They believe he is in the North Bend/Snoqualmie and say friends may possibly be hiding him.
According to Washington’s Most Wanted, early June 4th Tubbs rammed a KCSO deputy’s vehicle when they attempted to stop and arrest him – and then fled into the woods near I-90 exit 32. A K9 unit could not locate Tubbs, but WMW stated deputies did find guns in the abandoned vehicle.
