A multi-hour law enforcement operation in Bremerton concluded with the arrest of a man accused of a violent assault at a public transit station.
Because the suspect was already known to local law enforcement, officers were able to move toward his residence on East Broad Street with speed.
The hours spent in negotiation were designed to exhaust the suspect's resolve, yet he remained defiant.
On-scene medics treated the suspect before he was transported to a local hospital for a full evaluation.
While the suspect was armed with a knife and had threatened lives, the department managed to take him into custody without the use of firearms.
