'As soon as he jumped out and into the back of my truck I thought it was game on.'
Brittany Toolis, KIRO 7 NewsSEATAC, Wash. — A miles-long car chase came to a crashing end Tuesday evening. It started in Tacoma’s Salishan neighborhood, near East 38th Street and Portland Avenue East and ended on an Interstate 5 offramp near SeaTac.
A high-speed chase came to a screeching halt on that offramp, right behind Cameron’s pickup truck. The sound made him look into his rearview mirror. KIRO 7 has learned that the suspect is Tyrus Walker-Scott. Tacoma police said Walker-Scott was out on bail for previous robbery and weapons charges. Tuesday’s chase started after investigators said Walker-Scott cut off his ankle monitor near E. 38th St. and Portland Ave. E. That sent an alert to police, who said Walker-Scott then jumped into an SUV and took off. The chase topped speeds of over 100 mph.
