#2 Donuts in Parking Lot Arrest
On June 26th around 1:15 am, a graveyard deputy was on patrol driving southbound at 176th and Pacific Ave S when he observed a BMW doing donuts and burnouts in the Dairy Queen parking lot. When he pulled into the lot, he observed three subjects standing in the parking lot filming. They quickly jumped into the vehicle before it took off through the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The deputy self-terminated due to the recklessness and knowing there were at least four people in the vehicle. A short time later, the vehicle was spotted down a dead-end road. The 18-year-old driver was arrested. The vehicle was occupied by four other juveniles, two 16-year-olds and two 14-year-olds, who were all released to guardians. The driver was arrested for eluding, reckless driving, and four counts of reckless endangerment.
