Kent police chase dangerous robbery suspect ending in crash

King County Sheriff’s Officers engaged in a pursuit, crash, and arrest of a robbery suspect in Kent.

At around 12:20 p.m. Monday, Kent police officers began pursuing who they said was a dangerous robbery suspect on Kent’s West Hill.

The suspect veered into oncoming traffic as he fled.

Once King County’s Guardian One helicopter began tracking the suspect’s car, Kent police suspended their chase. Officers were able to get in front of the suspect, put out spike strips, and flatten most of the suspect’s tires.

The driver then crashed into two vehicles at S 277th Street and W Valley Highway, where he got out of his car and immediately tried to carjack a white SUV that had stopped for the crash.

When his attempt failed, he ran away but was stopped and detained by Kent officers a short time later.

The suspect, a 31-year-old from Kent, was arrested on several counts of first-degree robbery. He will likely face other charges related to Monday’s incident.

No one was injured during the incidents.

Man shot in drive-by road rage incident in University District

Police are investigating a man who was shot and injured in a drive-by shooting Tuesday morning in the University District.

At 6:30 a.m., a man at NE 43rd Street and 7th Avenue NE called 911 to report someone in a vehicle had just shot him in the elbow and drove away.

While first responders were on their way, nearby citizens applied an improvised tourniquet to the man’s arm.

Arriving Seattle Fire Department medics took over and transported the man to Harborview Medical Center with reportedly non-life-threatening injuries.

The 40-year-old victim told police he had been standing outside his car as it was warming up and defrosting. A white sedan – possibly a Hyundai – turning around in a driveway came close to hitting his car, and he expressed his frustration with the driver.

The male sedan driver then leaned across a female front passenger and fired a shot out the closed passenger window, shattering the window and striking the victim. The driver then sped away.

Officers at the scene collected ballistic evidence, and detectives are continuing to investigate this incident.
