His accomplice, 21, was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of robbery and theft. The men are accused of stealing two ounces of marijuana from a Tulalip man at gunpoint.

 

That man, 23, said the men hit him in the face with a handgun and shot out his front passenger-side window. He fired back with his own gun, and said his actions were self-defense, court records say.

The Tulalip man told detectives that he sells medical marijuana and had taken out an ad on Craigslist.
