A driver hit a motorcyclist in Scott Lake during a road rage incident over the weekend, causing the rider to hit the driver’s windshield, the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) confirmed on Facebook.
The driver allegedly slammed on the brakes after the motorcyclist hit the windshield. Once the rider slid off the car, the driver attempted to run them over, dragging the motorcycle a few hundred feet. After the incident, the driver left the vehicle and escaped on foot.
“K9 Asher and deputies tracked for approximately one hour but did not catch up to the suspect,” Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders said on Facebook. “K9 Asher remained in the area and continued searching, locating the suspect running down the street. I was on my way back from a community event and stopped to assist.”
After approximately an hour, deputies found the driver and arrested them. The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office shared the dashcam footage of the arrest. The driver was charged with DUI, vehicular assault, and felony hit and run. They were also booked for a previous domestic violence case from a year ago.
