A driver of a Ford Mustang evaded authorities in Thurston County after reaching speeds of approximately 130 miles per hour.
The driver reached this speed after a deputy with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office tried to pull them over for speeding.
When the car was found in Dupont, the sheriff’s office impounded it.
“If you want your car back you can link up with us at 3491 Ferguson Street SW in Tumwater, otherwise we’ll put this one to good use in our fleet,” Sanders added.
