Port Angeles man accused of armed threat, drug possession

PORT ANGELES — A 26-year-old Port Angeles man was arrested Friday morning for investigation of allegedly threatening another man with a shotgun and possessing cocaine.

Zachariah Francis Blaylock, police said, confronted Zechariah Rambow at his residence in Gales Addition with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun at 2 a.m. for calling his friends names.

After threatening Rambow, who went back into his house, Blaylock got into the passenger seat of another car.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office stopped the car on Front Street.

20 grams of cocaine

Deputies searched the car and found a loaded shotgun, 20 grams of cocaine and $550.50 in cash.

The cocaine and shotgun shells were found in the seat pocket where Blaylock was sitting, police said.

He was charged Friday with second-degree assault, second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture or deliver.

Blaylock will be arraigned March 23.

His bail was set at $100,000.
