William Nietzche, 35, walked through his childhood bedroom on December 8, and pointed out the places where he said officers rifled through his belongings. Nietzche and six others were arrested to officers who arrived at the home early Tuesday morning. ”It’s devastating,” said Nietzche, who said his family is Upper Skagit. “It’s almost like a dream. Like a nightmare.”Brooke Herbert/The Oregonian
