SHELTON, Wash. (AP) — A bear hunter suspected of fatally shooting a man who was picking floral greens in the woods near Shelton has been arrested for investigation of manslaughter.
Mason County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Dean Byrd says the man was booked into jail and released Friday on his promise to appear in court Monday in Shelton.
A 24-year-old Shelton man, Carlos Pablo Carrillo, was picking salal for use in the floral industry on Wednesday when he was hit.
Two hunters who later came forward told deputies they thought they saw a bear and one fired. They left the area because they thought they missed.
