GRANT COUNTY - A high-speed pursuit Wednesday afternoon ended with Grant County deputies arresting two Quincy men inside a stolen vehicle allegedly involved in the chase.

It started when deputies answered a call about a reported stolen vehicle in the George area, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.

The vehicles owner reportedly told law enforcement that he picked up Gustavo Tapia, 18, and three other people before driving to a location near George. When the vehicle owner stepped out Tapia allegedly jumped in the driver's seat and sped away.

While deputies were contacting the owner of the stolen vehicle, a Washington State Patrol trooper spotted the stolen 1995 GMC Jimmy traveling east on Interstate 90. The driver allegedly accelerated to around 100 mph when the trooper attempted to pull him over.

The Jimmy reportedly left I-90 at exit 182 and stopped just south of the freeway. The vehicle was quickly surrounded by troopers, deputies and Moses Lake police. All the occupants were detained.

Tapia was arrested on suspicion of attempting to elude police, theft of a motor vehicle and DUI. Adrian Diaz, 18, was arrested for a felony warrant. The two other occupants were released and the vehicle was returned to its owner.

"I really want to thank and highlight the Washington State Patrol and Moses Lake police," Sheriff Tom Jones said. "They kept an eye out for the stolen car, pursued it, and were essential in safely taking the occupants into custody."
