Deputies and Detectives have obtained several search warrants for different locations and vehicles. This has resulted in the recovery of stolen property from several burglaries. On June 21st 2022, Waters was spotted in the Lake Wenatchee area by a Chelan County Sheriff’s Office Deputy. In an attempt to take Waters into custody, the Deputy initiated a traffic stop.
