Washington State Patrol, the Mason County Sheriff’s Office, and the Shelton Police Department pursue and stop a fleeing suspect Tuesday night. After multiple spike strips and a PIT maneuver, a fleeing driver in Mason County was caught and arrested Tuesday night.

The suspect took off in his vehicle after a Washington State Patrol trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop at 11:08 p.m. Tuesday. on Olympic Highway N. in Shelton. A police pursuit ensued, with both the Mason County Sheriff’s Office and the Shelton Police Department providing assistance as the chase continued through the Shelton area. “During the pursuit, assisting deputies and officers from Shelton PD successfully deployed two sets of spike strips, deflating all four tires of the suspect vehicle,” the Mason County Sheriff’s Office stated. “Despite the disabled tires, the driver continued a short distance before a Mason County Sheriff’s Office deputy executed a successful Pursuit Intervention Technique maneuver near State Route 3 and Southeast Arcadia Avenue, safely bringing the pursuit to an end.” The 47-year-old suspect was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of felony eluding, reckless driving, and driving while license suspended. “This incident highlights the coordinated teamwork between Washington State Patrol, Shelton Police Department, and the Mason County Sheriff’s Office in safely resolving a dangerous situation,” the Mason County Sheriff’s Office stated.After multiple spike strips and a PIT maneuver, a fleeing driver in Mason County was caught and arrested Tuesday night.Two Texas men pleaded guilty to several counts of bank robbery after stealing from banks by assaulting and threatening ATM technicians.Seattle man convicted of groping woman on airplane A Seattle man faces up to two years in prison after being convicted of groping a 19‑year‑old woman on an airplane.A shooting in Seattle's Central District that left a man and a woman with several gunshot wounds forced a nearby middle school into lockdown on Tuesday.Sound Transit light rail shut down between the Star Lake Station in Kent and the Angle Lake Station in SeaTac on Wednesday after thieves stole copper wire.Chrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
