On Feb. 12, the Mason County Sheriff’s Office arrested a person after a citizen reported an SUV driving dangerously on Acadia Road who then led police on a chase through Shelton.
According to MCSO, a person called the police to report a car driving dangerously on the wrong side of the road and forcing other drivers off the road.
When deputies tried to pull the driver over, he sped away.
PIT maneuver ended chase
MCSO said the SUV was going between 40 and 60 mph on a two-lane road.
Deputies used stop sticks to deflate the SUV’s tires but the driver continued to run.
As the SUV struggled to turn into another road, one deputy performed the PIT maneuver forcing the SUV into a ditch on Southeast Binns Swiger Loop Road.
This ended the chase and deputies arrested the driver on suspicion of DUI.
