MONROE – A Monroe couple used a baseball bat to battle with a man who slipped into their home early this morning.
The suspect, 24, from Monroe, had a gun.
Even so, he wound up in the hospital.
Around 3:30 a.m., the man broke into the couple’s home in the 21600 block of 164th Drive SE. He apparently came in through an unlocked door, Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.
