18-year sentence in stabbing death of corrections officer
MONTESANO, Wash. - A 16-year-old was sentenced Thursday to more than 18 years in prison for the stabbing death of an off-duty corrections officer last July in Hoquiam.
Teddy Bryan had pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Jonathan Favro, who worked as a corrections officer at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton.
The 18-year sentence was the maximum possible under state sentencing guidelines.
The two had argued over a girl at a party July 14 in Hoquiam. Bryan admitted earlier in Grays Harbor County Superior Court that he stabbed Favro, but said he did not intend to kill him.
After the stabbing, Favro drove off and crashed into a rock embankment, then ran away from the wreckage, only to succumb to his stabbing injuries in a nearby back alley.
Meanwhile, Bryan returned to his girlfriend's home to wash off the knife and change clothes, police said earlier.
An officer spotted the car's wreckage and discovered that the car's air bags had deployed, but no one was inside. He then spotted blood on the air bag and car door.
Additional officers from Hoquiam and Aberdeen responded to the area. While they were checking the area for possible victims, a woman contacted police and said she had received a call from her 16-year-old son who told her he was "going to do something terrible."
The woman directed police to Bryan's location, about a block away from the crash scene.
Officers spoke to Bryan, who admitted stabbing the driver and the driver had then sped off in the car, according to police. Officers then found Favro's body in the alley.
KXRO reports that as Bryan enters the prison system his first stop will be the Shelton center where Favro worked. The center determines where inmates will serve their time.

Stabbed him but did not intend to kill him huh?
Great so in 8 years or so we will get to see this kid in action again. What a great way to waste some money.
If you real want to kill someone just take them to Washington State for a vacation then murder them. Don't worry you won't get in too much trouble. You will be out in a few years, you may even get a degree while incarcerated.
This is state is pathetic.
Only 18 years? This kid got off lucky....
@SmashquailYes, it's sickening. So much for justice.Â
Looks like we need sharp object registration and background checks.
@NW-Economist Others have warned me, and I see they are right... NW-Economist is a one-tune musician. Too bad KOMO does not offer a filter to filter out off-topic and irrelevant remarks...
Maybe we need background checks on posters to make sure they are of sound mind (if not body). NW-Economist clearly is not.
Out in 7 years, again the nanny state strikes...
"The 18-year sentence was the maximum possible under state sentencing guidelines."
Time to revise (upwards) the sentencing guidelines. With good behaviour credits we'll be lucky if he serves half his sentence. It would be interesting to know his prior criminal history.
@Ned he had none
@Exiled_Patriot Interesting. Well he certainly has one now. 16 years old with a serious felony conviction isn't going to leave him many options when he gets out.
That's the max sentence?? Â What a joke this State is. That should be a life sentence, period. Â I'm sorry but the "oh, I stabbed him, but didn't mean to kill him." defense? Â Seriously? the court and jury BOUGHT that? Â What was he doing with the knife? Removing a splinter? The minute a knife enters someone else's body, it is there to kill. Â I mean, unless the killer is a surgeon, it's not like anyone can say.. ."I just stabbed him to send a message." BS. You stab someone, just like shooing someone, you are trying to kill them. Period. Â Should have been life in prison for that. And the fact that he changed clothes, etc., is not the actions of someone that was sorry for what he did. Â
@DT it never went to trial. he plead guilty. if it had gone to trial he was looking at life with out parol.
100% BS! The sentence doesn't fit the crime..... That 16yr. old punk should be in at minimum for life......
So a 22 yo was arguing with a 16 yo over a girl?..and the 16 you had a girlfriend? Were they arguing over the girlfriend?Â
Good to hear he makes his first stop at the location the man he killed worked...break his prison life in with a bang!
