The Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 5 years, 2 months AGO
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A suspect driving a reportedly stolen car in Washington state was stunned by deputies following a vehicle pursuit and foot race near south Everett, authorities said.
The man, 33, alluded a Snohomish County sheriff's deputy Tuesday by speeding away, darting into parking lots and dodging multiple PIT stop attempts, the Daily Herald reported.
A third PIT stop caused the vehicle to spin and crash into a cement barrier before the suspect fled on foot, running across the road, up an embankment and jumping into brush, authorities said.
A deputy pursued and struggled with the suspect until another deputy arrived and used a stun gun on the man, authorities said.
The man was transported to the hospital for an evaluation, then booked into the Snohomish County Jail to be investigated on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, eluding police and resisting arrest.
