Madden McGraw, an 18-year-old Federal Way resident, faces 13 criminal charges, including first-degree robbery and multiple counts of identity theft, after a series of violent crimes across King County. Alongside a 15-year-old accomplice identified as JW, McGraw allegedly targeted vulnerable elderly victims, resulting in one woman suffering a broken vertebra during a robbery.
