Columbia River Drug Task Force - Updated Human Trafficking Arrest
On 3/20/2024, Columbia River Drug Task Force detectives received a call from Pierce County Deputies advising they knew the location of Linhui Yan who was wanted on charges in Chelan County related to a human trafficking investigation. Detectives arranged to have Pierce County Deputies arrest Yan. Once he was placed into custody, CRDTF Detectives traveled over to Pierce County, took custody of Yan, transported him back to Chelan County where he was booked into jail to face his charges.
Detectives were recently notified Yan had returned to the country. At that time, Yan was arrested as he re-entered the United States and booked into the King County Jail. However, he was released from the King County Jail before Chelan County had a chance to transport him back.
Detectives don’t have reason to believe Yan’s wife, (Yan Yang) has returned to the United States, and an arrest warrant still remains for her arrest.
