FERNDALE, Wash. – A Ferndale man ended up in jail after reportedly threatening family members with a box cutter and machete.
Ferndale Police responded to a 9-1-1 call Wednesday from family members who say 23-year-old Rosalio Lawrence Todd tried to stab a family member with a box cutter, assaulted two family members, then threatened the family with a machete.
Todd also threatened to burn down the home.
Officers say Todd fled on foot but was later located by a Bellingham PD K-9 unit called in to assist FPD and Sheriff’s deputies with the search.
