OTHELLO, Wash. (AP) – Authorities say a 28-year-old man has been arrested following the discovery of multiple bodies in an abandoned vehicle near Othello in eastern Washington.

KOMO reports that Mauricio Nava-Garibay, 28, was been booked into the Adams County Jail for suspicion of first-degree murder and potential other charges.

It wasn’t  immediately clear if he had an attorney.

KOMO reports that Thursday morning deputies found a deceased person inside a vehicle.
