Lynnwood DUI Attorney | Barefoot Bandit Coming Home
It was just a matter of time, but the “folk hero” is returning to Seattle.
From The Seattle Times:
Without saying a word, the teenager accused in a two-year string of sometimes shoeless burglaries and other crimes that helped him gain international notoriety as the “Barefoot Bandit” agreed Friday to return to Washington state to face federal charges.
Hector Dopico, an assistant federal public defender temporarily representing 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore, told a federal judge that Harris-Moore waived his right to a hearing on whether he should be transferred to Seattle. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Dube said Harris-Moore would be handed over to the U.S. Marshals Service, which will handle his travel in the coming days.
Dopico also said he had been in contact with an attorney who will represent Harris-Moore in Seattle, but he did not name that lawyer. Harris-Moore’s mother has asked Seattle defense attorney John Henry Browne to represent her son.
As a Lynnwood DUI Attorney, I’ll be following this story closely. I’ve seen Mr. Browne in action before, and am impressed with his ability to nab high profile cases. But let’s not forget that Colton Harris-Moore is not a hero. He’s a kid. With problems. And a HUGE criminal fight on his hands. Let’s hope Mr. Browne is up to the task.

Lynnwood DUI Attorney | Target Zero Catches 57
As a Lynnwood DUI Attorney and resident, I’ve seen the increased presence of WSP troopers out on the roads, both enforcing general traffic infractions, and of course, doing DUI arrests.
Never has this been more evident than with the new creation of the “Target Zero” task force I posted about earlier this month. Read more about Target Zero Catches 57
Target Zero – More DUI Arrests on the Way
Because King, Snohomish and Pierce County don’t feel as if they’ve arrested enough folks for DUI lately, they’re rolling out a new federally funded program, called “Target Zero” just in time for July 4th Weekend.
As a Lynnwood DUI Lawyer, I am interested to see if they are simply ramping up enforcement, or are going to be using any real “new” techniques to try to clear the road. They’ll be using the 21 troopers with the best records for arresting DUI drivers.
From The Seattle Times:
Just in time for the Fourth of July weekend, the State Patrol launched a new task force Thursday in three counties dedicated solely to hunting down intoxicated drivers and eliminating drunken-driving fatalities by 2030. Read more about Target Zero
