A Vancouver teenager was arrested after eluding police by driving over 130 MPH early Tuesday morning, says the Clark County Sheriff's Office
Around 2 a.m., a Clark County Sheriff's Deputy attempted to stop a reckless driver headed east on NE Padden Parkway from NE 117th Ave in Vancouver at over 100 MPH.
The driver eluded the deputy by speeding over 130 MPH, and the deputy did not pursue in accordance with Washington State public safety laws.
Other law enforcement in the area saw the car and were able to get a look at the driver before eluded police a second time.
A few minutes later, a deputy found a suspect walking in the area who matched the description of the driver. The suspect fled on foot near the 15500 block of NE 85th St, and the car was located unoccupied in the same neighborhood.
After a search of the neighborhood, Tyler Stout, 18, of Vancouver, was located hiding behind a vehicle. He was apprehended after another foot chase and charged with Attempting to Elude a Police Vehicle.
