A man accused of threatening to kill Spokane police has been arrested by U.S. Marshals.
Shawn Michael Buroker, 21, was taken into custody Thursday in Asotin County, Wash.
Buroker was sentenced in January to three years probation for conspiracy to commit burglary in Nez Perce County.
He moved to Washington in March under an interstate supervision agreement.
Buroker reportedly threatened to kill the Spokane police officers that he believes killed his father, Ira Shawn Buroker, in Spokane eight years ago.

I bet the real truth is somewhere in the middle here. Like everything else in life, I bet this young man who was hurt will now get further insult to injury of losing his father since the system is now working against him.
