Description
The man suspected of shooting a Washington State Patrol trooper multiple times the night of Feb. 16 in Kent was charged Tuesday and remains in King County Jail on $3 million bail.
Jason Joshua Posada was charged with first-degree assault with a firearm enhancement, unlawful possession of a firearm and theft of a firearm.
He will be arraigned March 4.
Posada was previously being held on a separate warrant after more than 48 hours passed without probable cause being found for the shooting.
