When Schwarze reached Lynch

crossing the median several times
before blowing his transmission
out. He was arrested after that.
Authorities in Snohomish,

comparing notes with Lacey po-

of armed robberies.
Detective Sergeant Jerry Lin-

The clerk went into the back of
the shop and notified the owner,

the suspect in a number of other
armed robberies based on "his

things he said to each of the

The workshop, he said, will
equip people with the tools to rec-

to a professional," Chapman said,
"and there are moderate sit.ua-

"The longer the wait, the re(we
