Thanks to a Washington’s Most Wanted viewer tip into Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, fugitive Marcel Matthews was captured by Seattle police, Monday, Oct. 5. Matthews is wanted for burglary and is accused of sneaking in through a bathroom window and hitting a home in West Seattle – while people were inside the house.

Matthews’ rap sheet is long and includes convictions for assault, drugs, felony flight, car theft and trespass.

The Seattle Police detective detective working the case sat watch on the Renton house where Matthews was suspected of hiding until he spotted him and made the arrest.

Washington’s Most Wanted host David Rose said, “There’s not a much more terrifying experience than having a criminal break into your home while you’re there. West Seattle homeowners can rest a little easier tonight knowing Seattle police have Matthews in custody thanks to a tip from one of our viewers.”
