Hit and run turned kidnapping in Pioneer Square

Around 1:00 a.m. June 18, the driver of a silver Laramie Edition Ram truck ran over a woman east of the intersection of 1st avenue south and South Washington Street in Pioneer Square.

The driver, identified as a man, initially fled the scene but returned to pick up the woman and put her in the cab of the truck, before driving east.

The truck did not have license plates, but photos show a silver U-bolt on the car hitch and a local area dealership license plate frame.
