TUMWATER, Wash. —
One day after law enforcement officials in Spokane discovered and arrested shooting suspect John Allen Booth Jr., Robert Russell was taken into custody by a jail bonds company in Tumwater for not showing up for a scheduled court appearance.
On Thursday, the Lewis County Sheriff’s office released a photo of Russell, calling him a person of interest in the shooting, though police have not yet detailed his involvement.
KIRO 7 Eyewitness News learned that Russell, a 46-year-old from Centralia, was due in court for an unrelated case Friday morning, and when he didn’t show up, the Jail Sucks Bail Bonds Company started looking for him.

He was arrested at 6 p.m. by the bail bonds company.
Bondsman Trevor Warren told KIRO 7 that Russell was “passive resistant. He tried to talk his way out.”
Law enforcement sources tell KIRO 7 that Russell has an extensive criminal history involving drugs, assault, burglary, kidnapping and possession of stolen property.
Sources told KIRO 7 that Russell may have sent Booth to the house where the murders happened.
Russell is the third man suspected in connection to the shooting, the other is Ryan J. McCarthy who was arrested in Redmond earlier in the week.
