They found a female victim, who had evidence she was badly beaten. She told Deputies about two hours earlier, the suspect, identified as 45-year-old Alexander Y. Germanovich of Spokane, had violently punched and strangled her, pointed a gun at her head and threatened to kill her several times.

Germanovich then drove her to the location on Barker and let her out of his truck.

Deputies located his vehicle a few miles away, and multiple officers responded to the traffic stop. Germanovich gave up without a fight, but Officers found a firearm in his truck, and four others at his home. Because he's a convicted felon, he can't possess guns.
