After Pierce County Deputy Daniel McCartney was shot and killed on Sunday night, police spent hours searching the area for the shooting suspect. It turns out, however, that the person they were looking for was already in custody.

Frank William Pawul, 32, was arrested just 10 blocks from the crime scene around 8:00 a.m. Monday morning, The News Tribune . At the time, he had three unrelated active warrants for his arrest. Pawul is being until Thursday, when formal charges of first degree murder are expected, 成人X站 7 reports.

鈥淗e had been arrested and then gave a false name to officers,鈥 成人X站 Radio鈥檚 Mike Lewis said on the Tom and Curley Show on Tuesday. 鈥淥fficers initially had received an inaccurate description of him, so they were looking literally for someone who didn鈥檛 look like this guy.鈥

It was the initial inaccurate description that led investigators astray throughout the day-long manhunt. Early witness details described the shooting suspect simply as 鈥渁 black male.鈥

Later, the description changed to more accurately depict the person involved:

As police investigated Pawul, they realized his likely connection to Sunday night鈥檚 shooting and called off the search. Had early details been correct, a manhunt could have been avoided.

But the situation on Monday wasn’t that unusual, Lewis said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not always an immediate, sizable manhunt for your average crime,鈥 Lewis said. 鈥淚f you talk to investigators, you鈥檒l find that they get poor descriptions all the time. Sometimes it鈥檚 not intentionally poor. Sometimes people literally don鈥檛 remember or they don鈥檛 remember what their eyes actually saw.鈥

鈥淭his is why good detectives and investigators ask multiple people,” he added.

McCartney’s body was escorted from the medical examiner鈥檚 office in Tacoma to Mountain View Memorial Park in Lakewood.
