Deputies search for car theft suspect after close call
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Deputies with the Clark County Sheriff''s Office are searching for a suspect who fled after the car he was driving hit a deputies patrol car Wednesday.
The incident took place at about 4:15 a.m. when Clark County Patrol Deputy Scott Kirgiss saw a car being driven in reckless manner in the Five Corners area.
The sheriff's office said that when Kirgiss tried to pull the car over in a cul-de-sac, the driver accelerated towards Kirgiss and brushed against the patrol car's bumper.
The suspect then drove away at high speed. Deputy Kirgiss was not hurt and the patrol car was not damaged, deputies said.
The car, a silver Honda sedan, was later found abandoned and had been stolen in Portland, deputies said.
Deputies using search dogs looked for the suspect without success.
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s with short cropped hair.
The stolen car was impounded.
So the police really need a gun that can shoot a GPS module into the car side that can be used for tracking. Then they don't need to do a high speed chase just use GPS to corner the guy in a safer manor and location. Either that or just shoot them...don't have sympathy for anyone who needlessly puts innocent people at high risk...
Criminals committing crimes are like politicians telling lies. Neither will ever end and both only think of themselves.
The thief obviously had a disregard for the life of others in his attempt to flee; he needs caught. I hope LE are able to apprehend him quickly and get him off the streets.
