Jake Harris, a reality star best known for his role on Discovery’s Deadliest Catch, was savagely beaten and “left for dead” on Saturday night, according to official police records. The violent incident took place around 8 p.m., as officers at Everett Police Department received answered a call from a man who reported that someone appeared to be seriously injured on the side of the road. The cops arrived on the scene and found Harris in grave condition. According to officer Aaron Snell, the former Deadliest Catch cast member got into a car with two or three unidentified people at nearby Quill Ceda Creek Casino. After entering this vehicle, some kind of altercation broke out, resulting in Harris getting robbed of his personal property. At some point during the night, the car stopped on the side of road and Harris either exited or was hurled out the door. Once he was discovered by authorities, the 21-year old was given medical aid and officials on the scene determined that “he was alert, conscious, answering questions and breathing.” Snell relayed this information to People Magazine. The officer proceeded to explain to the publication that Harris declined to be taken to the hospital and was therefore taken home by an cop after receiving medical attention. However, things then took a turn for the worse and residents at his house later took Harris to the hospital where he was admitted to the ICU. “I have some terrible news today. My brother was jumped last night and some individuals decided to beat him pretty good, which is a terrible, terrible thing,” Josh said in a Facebook live video. He continued: “I have located these people and talked with him – he’s in ICU right now. Some individuals beat him to the point where it cracked his skull from his forehead all the way back to where you would be balding as an individual. “My brother is bleeding out of his brain currently.” Added Josh, who is also a Deadliest Catch star: “They literally beat my brother, left him for dead, threw him out of a moving vehicle onto the side of the freeway. “Luckily the people that were behind the vehicle that he got thrown out of ended up seeing my brother and called 911.” The official Deadliest Catch Facebook page wrote simply: “Please join us in wishing Jake Harris the best with his recovery.” We most definitely will, but we can at least confirm in the meantime that two suspects were arrested in Spokane, Washington for this horrible act. According to KHQ Local News (see above Tweet), Amanda Ritter, 30, and Jorel Fultz, 29, were arrested on first degree robbery charges and remain in the Spokane County Jail. We send our thoughts and prayers to Jake Harris and his family at this time.
