A Kitsap County sheriff’s deputy used a spike strip to stop a driver going 110 mph on Highway 3 early Tuesday morning.

The spikes punctured all four tires, and the car skidded to a stop near the Anderson Hill overpass.

Deputies said the vehicle matched the description of a car sought by Jefferson County authorities.

“It turns out the man Jefferson County deputies were looking for had swapped the vehicle out with another man who was now driving his car along with a female passenger,” the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office said in a video news release.

Man arrested for attempting to elude officers

That 36‑year‑old man — the one behind the wheel Tuesday — was arrested on suspicion of attempting to elude law enforcement and on an unrelated warrant for failure to appear on a contempt of court charge, authorities said.
