At least four people, probably more according to police, helped Clemmons escape and hide after killing four cops on Sunday morning.
LAKEWOOD, Wash. — Four people accused of helping the suspected gunman in the killing of four Lakewood police officers in a Parkland coffee shop evade police have been arrested.
Four were booked into the Pierce County Jail on Monday and early Tuesday for investigation of rendering criminal assistance on four counts of first-degree murder. They are Douglas Edward Davis, Eddie Lee Davis, Rickey Hinton and Darcus Allen.
In court Tuesday, Eddie Davis and Douglas Davis both pleaded not guilty. Judge Bryan Chushcoff set bail for Eddie Davis at $700,000 and bail for Douglas Davis at $500,000.
Clemmons’ half brother, Rickey Hinton, has not been charged yet, but has been booked into jail for investigation of rendering criminal assistance. Chushcoff set his bail at $2 million.
Allen, who was booked late Tuesday afternoon, has not appeared in court. He is being held under investigation of four counts of rendering criminal assistant and one count of making false statements to investigators.
Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer said Allen has served time in an Arkansas prison with Clemmons, investigators said. HE was sentenced to 25 years in prison for a 1990 double murder at a Little Rock liquor store. He was paroled in 2004.
Arkansas prison spokeswoman Dina Tyler said Allen and Clemmons never shared a cell, but lived in the same barracks – along with 50-100 other inmates – at various times during their imprisonment.
Troyer said while there are four people under arrest now, more arrests could happen as investigators piece together how other people might have helped Clemmons after the shooting.
“We are not going to rest until everyone involved in this murder is brought to justice,” Troyer said.
