Gunpoint Confrontation Ends in Shooting

A 68-year-old man is jailed after allegedly pointing a gun at a deputy during a trailer fire response near Yelm, leading to multiple shots fired by the deputy — but the man survived and was released from the hospital. Charged with first-degree assault, he’s held on $50K bail with prosecutors racing to formally charge him by Friday. Body cam footage shows him refusing commands, making odd remarks about code enforcement, and pulling a revolver — later, a second gun was found on him. The Sheriff’s office calls the property a known drug compound, and a multi-agency team is investigating. The deputy is on administrative leave. His arraignment is set for June 16th.
