PUYALLUP, Wash. (AP) — Police have arrested the roommate of a man who was found stabbed to death Thursday on the back deck of their apartment in Puyallup (pew-AL’-up).
Capt. Dave McDonald told The News Tribune of Tacoma a tip led officers to pick up the 55-year-old Thursday night at a bus stop in Lakewood. He’s jailed for investigation of murder.
Police say the victim probably was killed early Thursday when neighbors heard a commotion in the apartment.
McDonald said the two men had lived together for at least seven years and both had mental health issues.
