One man is in custody and a second man turned himself in to Marysville police after being sought in connection with a January 27 assault of a woman outside a 7-Eleven store in Marysville.

Mikhail P. Shutov turned himself in at the Marysville Public Safety Building on February 7. He has since been booked into Snohomish County Jail on suspicion of first-degree assault and unlawful imprisonment, and is being held on $100,000 bail.

Police and Snohomish County sheriff's deputies, acting on information discovered during their investigation, took suspect Kevin D. Stagner into custody without incident a day earlier in Lynnwood, according to Marysville police Lt. Ralph Krusey. Stagner is being held on an unlawful imprisonment charge, with bail set at $50,000.

The assault occurred about 8 p.m. January 27 when the suspects and a 40-year-old Marysville woman, who had asked for a ride earlier and knew Stagner, pulled into the parking lot at the 7-Eleven store at the corner of State Avenue and Grove Street. When the victim tried to exit the truck, a struggle ensued. As she tried to get away, she was struck on the back of the head with a handgun which discharged but did not strike her or anyone else, Krusey said.

The victim sustained a 3-inch cut to her head and was transported to Providence General Colby Campus for treatment.

Police were able to positively identify Shutov when he dropped several items, including his wallet, as the two men fled the scene.

The suspects' truck and the handgun have been retrieved.
