But King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng said that Pharms was the triggerman in the robbery and thus could face additional charges. About three hours later, he returned with a gun, a mask and an accomplice, Maleng said. The bullet, which entered the victim's leg as he fell back on his bed, lodged in his chest, but he survived. Pharms' blood was identified with the victim's blood in a car found at the scene, court papers say. Pharms and his accomplice, still unidentified, changed clothes in the car, which was registered to Pharms' ex-girlfriend, and walked away, the documents say.
Investigators say they found a bloody glove issued by the Washington football team inside the car.
Recently completed DNA testing showed the blood on the glove to be that of Pharms and the victim, Maleng said. His lawyer, John Wolfe, did not immediately return a phone call for comment Wednesday. Maleng said Wolfe told prosecutors that Pharms would be in Seattle May 9 for his arraignment. He was ninth in the Pac-10 in sacks. Pharms was one of three Husky seniors to appear in every game since the 1997 season.
