PREVIEW: Patch Interviews the Brother of the Man Who Killed Trooper Tony

Wednesday will be the first installment of a three-part interview with Chris Blake, the brother of Josh Blake, who shot and killed Trooper Tony Radulescu during a traffic stop this February.

Tomorrow morning, Bonney Lake-Sumner Patch will publish the first in a three-part series on the life and death of Josh Blake, the 28 year-old man who killed during a routine stop earlier this year.

Patch sat down with Josh's brother, Chris, who works for the City of Bonney Lake and lives in Sumner.

In our interview, Chris talks candidly about the Blake family and his brother's struggles with drugs which led to the tragic, deadly shooting of a state trooper last February. He detailed how Josh's death has forever changed his life.

"Josh didn’t have a bad family, or a bad childhood. He had good parents. He has good kids," said Chris during the interview. "It should be a lesson to anybody who sees themselves in a situation with drugs–this could happen to you, because it happened to him."
