Wa Man Who Fought Thief Faces Manslaughter Charges

A 67-year-old man could face manslaughter charges after restraining a 23-year-old suspected thief who died from the confrontation.

The Everett Herald reports that Dylan Thomas Jones died from asphyxiation due to compression of the neck.

Authorities say Jones had apparently entered the older man's property to steal a boat motor. The man then confronted Jones and the two men got into a tussle.

When deputies arrived Jones was unresponsive and was declared dead at the scene.
