The search is on for an armed and dangerous fugitive wanted after police say he’s threatening to kill the family members of law enforcement officers. It’s the latest example of Washington State’s catch and release policy putting violent suspects back on the streets. The Spotlight details HB 1252 aimed at holding judges accountable and requiring them to set higher bail amounts for criminals who run from police. Plus, a sex trafficking victim explains the signs to look for to spot someone in need and the heroic actions of a hit and run victim’s dog to save her owner.
