EVERETT—What started out as a hostage situation at the Motel 6 in South Everett, located at 224 128th St SW, involving a 3-year-old child, ended safely after the 48-year-old male suspect surrendered to law enforcement around 11 p.m., Wednesday evening—a 13-hour standoff with Snohomish County Deputies.
The suspect, Robert Allen Hart, has been booked into the Snohomish County Jail on Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful imprisonment DV, and Assault DV.
Snohomish County Deputies, Everett Police, and Region 1 SWAT arrived on scene at Motel 6 in South Everett, located at 224 128th St SW, after a 911 call, at approximately 9:50 a.m., of an alleged domestic violence incident.
A female escaped the room safety, and the male subject who is believed to be armed, barricaded himself with a child. The relationship between the male suspect and both the child and female are unknown.
Over a dozen law enforcement officers were on scene and the Motel 6 and its parking lot were evacuated during the incident.
