Woman accused of role in Wash. trooper’s killing

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) — Police investigating the killing of a Washington State Patrol trooper have accused a woman of providing criminal assistance to the suspect who later took his own life.

The Kitsap Sun reports the 32-year-old woman was jailed Thursday night with bail set at $500,000. She has a 2-year-old daughter with Joshua Blake.

Authorities believe Blake shot Trooper Tony Radulescu during a traffic stop early Thursday near Gorst. Blake shot himself later Thursday as a SWAT team closed in.
