An investigation by the Interagency Narcotics Investigation Team that began in Grant County led to the recovery of more than 500 catalytic converters in Kennewick, according to a social media post from the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

Warrants had been served at a Moses Lake home and the Dos Tesoros Smoke Shop on Stratford Road in Moses Lake, which then led investigators to look into the Kennewick businesses on Wednesday - PDX Scrap Metal and C.E.M. Catalytic Converter.

They were able to recover 533 catalytic converters, raw materials from the cores of the catalytic converters and equipment used to extract the precious materials from inside catalytic converters.

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Wash. — A 41-year-old man from Burien is being charged with second-degree assault and hate crimes following a disturbance on an Amtrak train February 16, according to probable cause documents from the Franklin County Court. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office sent deputies to the Sagemoor Road and Highway 395 intersection after the Amtrak stopped nearby, reporting a drunk man was on board threatening passengers with a knife.

Deputies asked the train passengers and crew about the incident, according to court documents. The conductor told FCSO what an employee had told him, that a white man in overalls and a cowboy hat was using racial slurs toward Black passengers while holding a knife. They then spoke with one of the victims in the next train car, who informed deputies that the suspect, later identified as 41-year-old Wesley Young, was downstairs in the back bathroom.

While deputies received statements from the three men, other law enforcement officers were trying to get into the bathroom where Young was located. Court documents say he yelled continuously at officers while inside, using racial slurs and explicit exclamations. As time went on, he got more agitated, even hitting the door. Young was barricaded until SWAT arrived, prompting him to open the door. He was then arrested “without incident.”
