Possession of Stolen Property, Hit & Run
10500 blk 156th St E, South Hill
Deputies were dispatched to a gym parking lot following reports of a suspicious vehicle and prowlers. When they arrived, they found the vehicle, which had switched, stolen plates on it. A deputy attempted to stop the vehicle at 152nd St E and Meridian, but it fled. Since the offense is not pursuable, the deputy did not chase the vehicle. The car struck multiple vehicles further down the road as the driver continued to drive recklessly even though he wasn’t being chased. It struck another vehicle in the intersection of 122nd Ave E and 144th St E, causing the suspect’s vehicle to roll several times. The suspects got out and fled on foot, but a deputy tracked both of them down. The 26-year-old driver was transported to the hospital for a suspected fentanyl overdose. The other car was full of people headed to a wedding, so a deputy drove them there. While cleaning up the scene, deputies found $1,000 worth of Legos at the scene and discovered they had just been stolen from a nearby department store. Police reports will be forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for a charging decision.

Eluding, Stolen Vehicle
8600 blk Portland Ave E, Midland
Deputies were dispatched to a report of a stolen vehicle. When they arrived, the vehicle took off. It had a flat tire so it could only drive at slow speeds. A deputy got in front of it to box it in and slow it down even more. The driver got out of the vehicle in the 10700 block of Pacific Ave S and ran across the road. He was apprehended after a short foot chase. Due to booking restrictions, the 38-year-old driver couldn’t be booked into the Pierce County Jail. A deputy drove him to Kitsap County Jail so he could be booked under his warrants there. When they arrived, he claimed he had swallowed heroin so the jail required him to receive medical treatment before he could be booked.
