Tacoma police say a man they were trying to find following the death of a woman in the 880 block of Hosmer Street on Nov. 1 was arrested Monday night in Hoquiam. Donald Mansfield disappeared with his car after the woman's body was found. Her death has not been ruled a homicide.
“We responded to a report of a deceased person in a hotel room,” officer Loretta Cool of the Tacoma Police Department said. “We learned that he had been around this person. We’d obviously like to know what the circumstances were, what he had been doing and what he knows of certain things." Mansfield was arrested on an outstanding theft warrant and booked into the Pierce County jail.
