The man accused of attacking an independent journalist during protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Seattle last month was arrested Wednesday.
The victim, Cam Higby, told The Center Square he got a text from a detective with the Seattle Police Department confirming 33-year-old Jeremy Lawson was in custody.
The Center Square also received notice via email from SPD Detective Eric Munoz at 2:23 p.m. Wednesday.
“Jeremy Calvin Lawson, 33, was arrested this afternoon by SPD’s Community Response Group Officers,” Munoz said. “He was booked into KCJ [King County Jail] for Felony Investigation of Assault. CRG, in coordination with homicide detectives, located and arrested a suspect wanted for a politically motivated felony assault that occurred during an anti-ICE protest. The suspect was booked into KCJ without incident.”
In a Wednesday afternoon phone call with The Center Square, Higby said the detective who called him provided details of how the arrest went down.
“He was in Sultan, and he was going floating on the river, and they caught him just as he was about to get on his raft with this cooler, and they arrested him and took him in,” Higby said.
