Delacruz

Lakewood Police are looking for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted on suspicion of trafficking stolen property and possession of stolen property.

Jason A. Delacruz, also known as"Popeye," is considered to be armed and dangerous, police say. The 26-year-old man is described as 5-foot-7, 185 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He has "Delacruz" tattooed in old English script on his back and "WBG" (Watts Barrio Grape Sureno) tattooed on his leg.

Anyone with information on where he his is urged to contact Lakewood Police investigator Joseph Kolp at 253-830-5000.

The tattoo has since been colored in.

Quinault tribal police arrested the friend of Angela Harrison, whose five children were shot and killed earlier this month by their father.

Shannon Comenout, 38, was spotted by officers on the reservation Sunday afternoon, and officers were working to bring him to Pierce County late Sunday night.

Comenout was with Harrison when her husband, 34-year-old James Harrison, found them at an Auburn convenience store the night before the children were killed. He was arrested on a $15,000 warrant for a 2006 alleged domestic violence case that was unrelated to the Harrison family.

In that case, officers believe Comenout grabbed his then girlfriend by the throat during an argument, and slammed her father into a wall when he tried to intervene.

Officers wanted him on both the warrant and for his relationship with the Harrison family, so investigators can confirm the timeline of what happened.

"This is nothing to do with changing what happened," Pierce County Sheriff spokesman Ed Troyer said. "It is more to do with us confirming everybody's timeline and activities leading up to it. There are five dead kids. We need to do them a service so that history will never be able to repeat itself."

Troyer said officers had spoken with Comenout over the phone since the shooting, but that he had not been cooperative. Tribal police reportedly recognized him from a Crime Stoppers flyer and knew he was a regular on the reservation.

The man wanted in a December crash that killed two people was arrested in Tacoma on Thursday afternoon.

Two men wanted on Pierce County warrants were among those busted during a regional sweep orchestrated last week by the U.S. Marshals Service.

More than 130 people were arrested in the week-long operation titled, "Operation FALCON," the Marshals Service reported in a news release. FALCON stands for "federal and local cops organized nationally."

The arrestees included Richard Lee Campbell, a Level 3 sex offender who was wanted for allegedly failing to register his address with sheriff's deputies. Campbell, who has convictions for child molestation and child rape, was picked up in Poulsbo, according to the release.

Jeffrey Rose also was arrested on a 1994 Pierce County warrant charging him with child rape, the release states. Authorities tracked Rose down in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
