DUI Collision, Arrest
18200 blk 9th St E, Lake Tapps
Foothills Detachment deputies were at a domestic violence call when they saw a car drive past them at a high rate of speed. The driver failed to negotiate a curve and crashed into a power pole. The transformer blew and the pole was completed sheared off. By the time deputies reached the scene, the driver was already out of the car and was holding a beer can. He tried to hide it in the backseat, but the deputy told him he was too late. The 33-year-old suspect was arrested for DUI and malicious mischief in the first degree. Due to the serious collision and injuries, he was transported to the hospital for medical treatment rather than jail. If charged, a summons will be issued for him to appear in court.

Commercial Burglary
12800 blk 101st Ave Ct E, South Hill
A deputy was dispatched to a burglary that occurred at a cell tower. When she arrived, a technician told her that the suspects cut the padlock off the gate to gain access to the secured area. Once inside, the suspects damaged multiple power boxes. They shut off the power to one of the boxes so they could steal wiring. They caused an arc, which likely scared them, and they took off before stealing more. Estimated damages are believed to be at least $5,000.

Stolen Vehicle Recovery, Arrest
9700 blk 155th St E, South Hill
A patrol deputy was conducting a welfare check at a residence, but nobody answered the door. As he walked back to his car, he spotted a green Ford F-350. Knowing that these vehicles are frequently stolen, he ran the license plate. Records confirmed that the truck had been reported stolen in Tacoma. The deputy arrested the 43-year-old female who was in the truck and booked her into jail for unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle. It appears that the truck was being driven using a shaved key, and there were other shaved keys inside the truck.
