FERNDALE, Wash. — Several law enforcement agencies gathered near Barrett Road and Main Street in Ferndale for an armed and dangerous suspect at the Super 8 Motel, Washington State Patrol Trooper Jacob Kennett tweeted at around 7 a.m. on Tuesday.
Those inside the motel were asked to shelter in place. Other members of the public were asked to avoid the area during an apparent standoff.
The motel is near Interstate 5 at the Main Street northbound ramps. Video from a Washington State Department of Transportation camera showed officers were still at the scene three hours later.
At 10 a.m., a WSDOT camera showed a SWAT vehicle arrive at the scene.
Shortly after, City of Ferndale officials said the suspect was taken into custody at 10:10 a.m.
The suspect was safely taken into custody at 10:10am, there is no further danger to the public at this time. The Ferndale Police would like to thank all of our partner agencies for their support during this incident.
