… sheriff’s deputies were arresting a felon suspected of having firearms, after getting tipped off the man had moved back to the area and made threats at people who had restraining orders against him.
Likely because of the proximity to the border, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter was called in to ensure the suspect, Timothy Wayne Ehlers, didn’t try to escape into Canada, said Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks.
Ehlers was booked into jail at 1:20 p.m. on suspicion of illegal trafficking of a firearm and illegal possession of a firearm.
