A vehicle matching this description was found by Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office Deputies in the 100 block of Telegraph Road around 3:49 p.m. the same day. The deputies performed a high-risk traffic stop on the vehicle. This means that instead of walking up to the vehicle, they took up cover positions and talked the occupants out of the car one at a time.
The occupants of the vehicle were Michael Raymond King, 42, and Chomreun Sok, 41, both from Seattle. They remain in custody at Whatcom County Jail.
