Pierce County, Washington — On May 18, 2025, a Thurston County Deputy attempted to stop an unlicensed SUV after observing the driver run a stop sign onto a busy roadway. The driver fled and a pursuit was initiated. The driver fled north on I5 into Pierce County where they sideswiped a white work van before picking up a random bumper on the shoulder. Lakewood Police joined to assist. The driver attempted to flee toward the busy streets of South Tacoma when the pursuing deputy performed a PIT maneuver and pushed the suspect off the road. Initially the driver exited the SUV and cooperated, but then lowered their hands into their waistband and got back into the car. The driver was taken into custody at gunpoint. TCSO learned the driver was a convicted felon on “community supervision” with an active DOC escape warrant and a suspended license. The driver was booked into TCSO jail for attempting to elude, DWLS 3rd, hit and run, reckless driving, possession of drug paraphernalia, operating a vehicle without an ignition interlock, and their felony escape warrant. The suspect also had numerous warrants from jurisdictions along the I5 corridor, and their crime spree comes to an end.
