From the Everett Herald:

An Everett man who police believe was planning to kill Snohomish County sheriff's deputies had guns, ammunition and bulletproof vests to carry out an assault.

It was to be a killing similar to the Thanksgiving weekend assassination of four Lakewood police officers, police said.

Deputies arrested transient Michael McConnachie, 19*, on Sunday at a south Everett motel, according to a police affidavit filed Monday in Everett District Court.

“This appears to be more than just mouthing off or bragging,” Snohomish County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. “We had reason to be concerned and we took it seriously.”
