Sgt. Skelton Quotations

Shortly after finding the body, they had to back out of the area because there was an avalanche in the area.

Police had to do a hard entry to the residence because they didn't get a response when they knocked.

We received information from a citizen who suspected it may be a marijuana grow operation based on observations they had made on their own.

We encourage people to call 9-1-1 and let police intervene because quite often suspects are very dangerous and in some cases can be in possession of weapons and or needles. Very similar to a cornered animal, they're going to do one of two things: they're going to run or fight, and in this particular case the suspect did both. We certainly don't encourage people to put themselves in harm's way.

We speculate that some, if not most, of these acts of mischief may relate to a non-sanctioned grad rally.

The safety of the community outweighs any concerns that individuals might express about hydro consumption being disclosed to the police or fire agencies.

North Shore Rescue felt that that was probably the location the person would be found in based on the fact that they did very good air and land searches on all the other possible (areas).

It's too early in the investigation to speculate how much of this mischief was caused by those associated to the non-sanctioned rally, and it certainly doesn't mean that everyone that participated in that rally committed criminal acts. We're trying to sort out who organized the rally and what they can tell us about who was responsible for these acts of mischief.

It was just information police obtained during the follow-up investigation.

The intention of the person or persons that threw the water balloon was probably a practical joke type thing but as you can tell it did cause some damage. . . . It's quite concerning to us that this type of activity resulted in people from Washington state not having a very good experience in our neck of the woods.
