"Man accused of organizing Auburn street race charged as accomplice to vehicular homicide"

On November 27th, 2020 Mr. Judd, a street racing organizer arranged a street race in Auburn that led to the death two people. Kent PD partnered with local agencies and the Regional Racing Task Force on a unique and complex investigation to bring justice to their families.

Yesterday the King County Prosecutors Office charged Mr. Judd as an accomplice to vehicle homicide.

King County Prosecuting Attorney Satterberg stated the following about the arrest:

"I commend our partners at the Washington State Patrol, Kent Police Department, Auburn Police Department, and the Regional Racing Task Force for their diligent investigation which led to today’s arrest and charges," said King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg. "While sometimes glamorized, reckless racing and drifting outside appropriate venues is exceedingly dangerous, as the events of last November make clear. We want the public to know that we will hold people responsible for these dangerous events – including event organizers like Mr. Judd."

Chief Padilla stated the following about street racing and the investigation:

"In recent years, illegal street racing has grown increasingly dangerous, sometimes resulting in the tragic and needless loss of life," said Kent Police Chief Rafael Padilla. The successful investigation and prosecution of the offenders in this case should serve as a strong message to would-be illegal street racers and the race organizers that we take their dangerous and often violent actions seriously and we will work tirelessly to identify those involved and ensure they are held accountable for their crimes. This investigation is also a testament to the level of cooperation we have amongst Law Enforcement Agencies in King County and the outstanding law enforcement professionals who put the investigations together."
