The King County Sheriff detective who pulled a gun on an unarmed motorcyclist during a traffic stop on August 16 has racked up three driving or road rage related complaints in the last five years, documents from the sheriff’s office show.
On August 28, motorcyclist Alex Randall published a GoPro video of Detective Richard Rowe, 53, approaching him from behind with gun in hand, barrel facing the camera. In the clip, posted on YouTube, Randall says he feels “a little panicky” because Rowe pulled a firearm on him. Rowe responds, “That’s right, because I’m the police.” Despite accusing Randall of reckless driving, the detective did not issue him a citation.
