Watch: 2 arrested after breaking into Washington state fairgrounds in Puyallup
Two people were arrested in Puyallup after breaking into the Washington State Fair Event Center. Capt. Jeremy Hedrick, spokesperson for the Puyallup Police Department, told The News Tribune the incident happened on Oct. 18 at about 11:05 p.m. PPD announced the arrest on Nov. 5 with a Facebook post. An 18-year-old man and 19-year-old woman jumped the fence at the Red Gate, Hedrick said. Officers then used a drone to find the two of them near the 1900 Rooftop Bar. When officers chased them in the fairgrounds, they both tried to run away, Hedrick said. Officers then caught up to them, arrested them and realized they were both drunk. Police booked them into the Puyallup Jail for first-degree criminal trespassing, obstructing a law enforcement officer and a minor in possession and/or consumption of alcohol. Both of them have since appeared before a judge and are not in custody, Hedrick said. “Turns out, jumping the fence was the easy part,” PPD wrote in the Facebook post. “Getting away from the drone? Not so much.”
