Bonney Lake Man Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter in Fatal Marysville Home Invasion
In all, Johnathan Frohs entered a guilty plea to seven felonies including kidnapping, robbery, burglary, assault and manslaughter, reports The Everett Daily Herald.
A Bonney Lake man who was arrested in February 2012 in connection with a home invasion in Marysville in which he reportedly shot and killed a fellow suspect, plead guilty to manslaughter, among seven total felony charges on Tuesday in Snohomish County, reports The Everett Daily Herald.
Nicknamed 'Bigfoot' because of his size, Johnathan Frohs was one of several suspects who police said held a married couple hostage in a Marysville home in December 2011. The initial home invasion was reportedly an act of retaliation related to a drug deal, The Herald reported, but the targets weren't at that location.
When one of the group entered the home wearing a mask, police say Frohs mistakenly shot him. Patrick Buckmaster, 30, was later recovered near Granite Falls.
