It resulted in the arrests of two men in recent weeks for investigation of unlawful trafficking in shellfish, fishing out of season and possessing stolen property. Michael Cenci, a deputy director with the state’s Fish and Wildlife enforcement division, said the case is not related to arrests made last year involving poaching allegations against Joe Hatch, the former co-director of the Tulalip Tribes fisheries and wildlife division.

Those who care for the broken Class helps people who have mentally ill vets, personnel in their lives EVERETT — Millie Quiroz was in Olympia on Monday trying to make things better for people like her brother, an Iraq war veteran whose mental illnesses consumed him. Quiroz urged lawmakers to eliminate roadblocks that impede families seeking timely and adequate mental health care and substance abuse treatment for loved ones. Families need stronger tools to overcome those obstacles, which can be devastating for those living with mental
illness, Quiroz said. “We have to fix this,” she said. It’s too late for her brother. Christopher Eaves, 32, died six months ago at Western State Hospital. His body was found in a portable toilet on the hospital grounds some 12 hours after he was reported missing. Eaves suffered a fatal heart attack after consuming synthetic marijuana, also known as “spice.” He had missed his curfew but no one went looking for him, Quiroz said.

In his obituary, his family wrote that Eaves “finished his fight with mental illness on July 1, 2015.” Eaves, who served in the Army National Guard, spent more than a year in Iraq. He returned with post traumatic stress disorder. He later was diagnosed with schizophrenia, his sister said. “He suffered so much damage. He went untreated for so long. He was so broken,” Quiroz said. “We went through so much trying to get him help.” See CARE, back page, this section
