Person of interest let out of Pierce County jail one week ago

Maurice
Clemmons, the 37-year-old man wanted for questioning in the killing of
four Lakewood police officers Sunday morning, has a long criminal
record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his
mental health.
His criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in
Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. That record
also stands out for the number of times Clemmons has been released from
custody despite questions about the danger he posed.
Mike Huckabee, while governor of Arkansas, granted clemency to
Clemmons nine years ago, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the
protests of prosecutors.
