LAKEWOOD — After missing out on participating in it for the past couple of years, Marysville Police Custody Office Randy Nelson once again got a chance to mingle with the public in support of one of his favorite causes during the annual “Tip-a-Cop” event at the Red Robin restaurant in Lakewood on Saturday, Oct. 13. “Work and other events got in the way, but I absolutely remember the good times I had doing this before,” Nelson said of the fundraiser for the Law Enforcement Torch Run, which benefits Special Olympics athletes statewide and frequently draws members of the Marysville, Arlington and Lake Stevens
police departments to serve customers. “I have to thank the staff of the Lakewood Red Robin for opening their doors to us again.

Tulalip Tribal Police Chief Rance Sutten answers reporters’ questions after the Oct. 11 hearing for Christina Carlson at Tulalip Tribal Court.
TULALIP — A mother of two toddlers was ordered held on $75,000 cash-only bond on Thursday, Oct. 11, after pleading not guilty to two counts each of criminal endangerment and failure to support or care for a dependent person, after her children were found alone in a car and in need of medical attention on the Tulalip Tribal Reservation on Monday, Oct. 8. Christina Carlson, a 36-year-old Tulalip tribal member, placed the call notifying police of the condition of her two daughters. While 2-and-a-half-year-old Juanita Craig is in stable condition at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where she continues to receive care for dehydration and a severe rash, her 17-month-old sister Chantal Craig was found unresponsive at the scene, transported to the Providence Regional
Medical Center in Everett by Marysville Fire personnel, and later pronounced deceased. The results of Chantal Craig’s autopsy are unavailable while the investigation remains underway. Tulalip Tribal Police had received a call about an unresponsive infant at approximately 4:47 p.m. on Oct. 8, and emergency services were dispatched to the 1000 block of Marine Drive. According to charging documents, Carlson committed the four Class E offenses on or about Wednesday, Sept. 19, through Oct. 8, and is being held at the Snohomish County jail while the death is investigated. If she’s able to post bond, she must undergo mental health and chemical dependency evaluations, and is prohibited from drinking alcohol, taking prescription drugs or having contact with children under 18 years of age.
