Joshua Evan Smith has been reported selling magazines to
raise money for a soccer team with the magazines being given to troops
overseas. In other reports he was selling raffle tickets for season tickets to
Seahawks games. In one incident, a homeowner told Smith that he was calling
911, Smith ran away.
Bothell PD has learned that other law enforcement agencies
are looking for Smith for similar scams and that Smith sometimes targets the
elderly. He also has an arrest warrant from the Wood Dale Police Department
(Illinois) for a burglary charge.
Smith is a white male, 6’5” tall, 190 pounds, with blue eyes
and blond hair.
If you see him, do not contact him, but call 911.
Bothell police encourages you not to allow door to door
sales people into your home. Solicitors can show their products on your porch.
While Smith is not wanted for burglary in the local area, given the arrest
warrant from Illinois, there could be a danger that he is also casing houses
for burglary at a later date.
