Suspect takes off with trooper's car
06:00 PM PST on Wednesday, November 15, 2006
BELLEVUE - State troopers had to chase down a man for a second time after he jumped into the front seat of a Washington State Patrol cruiser and drove off.
KING
The suspect managed to drive off in handcuffs.
It all started as a routine traffic stop Wednesday afternoon near the SR 520 Bridge.
A trooper was heading eastbound when he pulled over a suspected drunk driver.
While the trooper inspected the suspect's vehicle, the suspect – who was in handcuffs in the trooper's car – managed to crawl into the front seat and drive off with the unmarked Impala cruiser.
The patrol car was spotted a short time later in an apartment complex along Bel-Red Road. The suspect had run off.
No weapons were missing, no one was hurt and the vehicle was not damaged.
The suspect was caught shortly after 5 p.m.
