SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. — After distribution of surveillance video from James Market, where the owner was struck and killed by a fleeing SUV, Sedro-Woolley police were able to identify all involved parties. On Friday night, around 11:30 p.m., the driver, 19-year-old Matthew Tobin, was taken into custody.
Sedro-Woolley Sergeant Dan McIlraith said the police department ended up receiving 'a lot of information with the help of media presence,' which helped lead to the identification of the suspects.
A juvenile female passenger was the first to be contacted by police. She pointed police to the driver and identified everyone in the SUV. Driver Matthew Tobin subsequently confirmed the events as well.
