Robert Malsch, who was apprehended and arrested by Everett police on March 17, has a case-setting hearing scheduled for tomorrow, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. A trial date will be rescheduled, but it’s not known if a date will be set tomorrow.
Malsch — who is booked into King County Jail with bail set at $700,000 — pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide, hit-and-run felony and reckless driving in Redmond in February 2015, and failed to appear for his trial on Feb. 29, according to King County Superior Court documents.
The court issued a bench warrant in State of Washington vs. Robert James Malsch for his arrest, and bail on the warrant was $150,000. The defendant had been out of custody after posting bond, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
A Reporter story noted that Malsch — a 21-year-old from Lynnwood — was involved in a two-car collision early Feb. 28, 2015, which resulted in the death of the driver in the other car. The other driver was identified as Michael Ey.
