SALKUM — A man believed to be connected with the triple-killing in Lewis County last weekend has been arrested in the Seattle suburb of Redmond.

State Department of Corrections officials told KOMO-TV that Ryan J. McCarthy was arrested for a parole violation because of his possible involvement in the triple homicide.

Officials would not say what role McCarthy is suspected of playing in the murders or how they located him.

A statewide manhunt continues for the man accused of killing three people at a home in the Lewis County town of Salkum.

Authorities believe 31-year-old John Allen Booth Jr. of Onalaska, which is near Salkum, may have been trying to collect on a drug debt Saturday.

He is accused of shooting 52-year-old David J. West Sr., his 16-year-old son, David Jr., both of Salkum, and 50-year-old Tony E. Williams, of Mineral.
