Stolen truck leads to chaos in Stanwood
Dozens of home and car-owners in Smokey Point are seeking reimbursement from a chaotic scene Monday after a man allegedly tore through the neighborhood in a stolen work truck.
Courtney O’Keefe said the 21-year-old suspect led deputies on a chase after the City of Stanwood reported their truck was taken.
“The stolen vehicle came to a stop, he was kind of wedged between a house and a tree,” O’Keefe told KIRO Newsradio. “He also took out a gas meter.”
The crash prompted concerns of a ruptured gas line, as approximately 40 residents were evacuated.
K-9 deputies arrested the man. No injuries were reported.
“He fled on foot,” O’Keefe continued. “A K-9 dog chased and apprehended him.”
The City of Stanwood reported the truck was stolen when a member of their water crew left it unattended outside the treatment plant.
