A man wanted for a felony escape warrant caused quite the ruckus Sunday night when police chased him through a Mountlake Terrace neighborhood.
According to Commander Hansen with the MLT PD, officers were attempting to pull over a driver an expired temporary license and a cell phone violation and the subject would not stop. The driver ditched the car near 228th St SW and 66th Ave W and the man took of running.
Several residents sent in tips to MLTnews saying that police officers were searching in in their yards with a K-9 unit around midnight.
Commander Hansen reports that the subject was eventually found and booked in to Snohomnish County jail. The man ended up having a warrant for felony escape, which Commander Hansen said is likely for some kind of community custody or probation violation.
This guy made a bad situation so much worse. Good job, Terrace PD!
