In part, Hodo stated, "it is our constitutional duty, we have to stand up to a tyrannical government, we are not supposed to secede to a tyrannical government," then went on to claim that he supported the police, before proclaiming that "every treasonous traitor will be hung . . . . we will take our country back."After handing off the megaphone to another rioter, he looked at the officers on the police line and said, "you guys are a f— disgrace."
It is then alleged that Hodo picked up an object off the ground that appeared to be a canister of pepper spray and attempted to spray it at the officers; however, the canister was not deployed. Hodo then allegedly threw the canister in the direction of the police officers.
In an open-source video, Hodo can be heard stating, "It could get a lot worse, we came in peace this time, it could get a lot worse, believe me we are well armed if we need to be."

Over a number of months, Seattle Police looked for Offord and ultimately tracked him to a Shoreline hotel, just off of Aurora Avenue.
On May 30, 2024, Offord was arrested at one of his dealing locations along Aurora in North Seattle. A search of his hotel room and vehicle yielded nine pounds of fentanyl powder, approximately 2900 fentanyl pills, and more than a pound of methamphetamine, crack cocaine, heroin, and other drugs.
Police also seized another firearm. Offord was booked into the King County Jail but later was released on bail.

“This type of fraud on our elderly neighbors is heartbreaking,” said U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman. “To pose as someone trying to help them, while all the while the goal is to steal as much as they can from the victim’s hard-earned retirement funds. It is a special kind of cruelty to engage in such conduct.”
Over the course of a few days, they pressured the victim to write them checks for their “services” of $15,000, $20,000, and $26,000. They also claimed that the victim’s foundation was cracked, and they said they would repair that with a “titanium tie rod system.”
“Sadly, seniors are often an attractive target for fraudsters attempting to steal a lifetime of savings, and scammers are skilled at deceiving people, said Richard A. Collodi, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Seattle field office.
“We encourage consumers to stay vigilant and avoid making quick decisions before doing research or getting to know someone. If you think you or someone you know could be a fraud victim, call your financial institution immediately and report suspected fraud to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov.”

Arrested a day earlier at his family’s apartment, Taylor remains in juvenile detention in lieu of $2 million bail.

At approximately 3:40pm on Monday, May 20, Alexander Hardisty and another man were observed walking on a sidewalk near Ridgecrest Elementary School (165th and 10th Ave NE). Hardisty continued into the nearby Ridgecrest Business District and school staff immediately notified Shoreline Police who arrived in support. Ridgecrest's Extended Care program was immediately placed into lock out during this time.
School offices have been provided with flyers with Hardisty's photo and a reminder not to let anyone in with you when buzzed into a Shoreline School.
We appreciate our staff's awareness of this man's presence near our schools, the community's continuing vigilance and the support of our law enforcement partners.

The Seattle Archdiocese refused to cooperate. Consequently, Ferguson filed a petition to enforce the subpoena in King County Superior Court. The office is asking the court to hear the petition on May 22.
“Washingtonians deserve a public accounting of how the Catholic Church handles allegations of child sex abuse, and whether charitable dollars were used to cover it up,” Ferguson said.
“As a Catholic, I am disappointed the Church refuses to cooperate with our investigation. Our goal is to use every tool we have to reveal the truth, and give a voice to survivors. If you or a loved one have been impacted by clergy abuse, please contact my office.”
