Deputies report ‘wild' night of rattlesnakes, scorpions and chases near Tri-Cities
A sheriff's official described it this way in a Facebook post early Monday: 'Night shift was wild this weekend.'
In one incident, deputies were trying to arrest a man for some felony warrants when he stripped out of his clothes and jumped into the Yakima River in Benton City.
He managed to elude even a Pasco police dog by hiding in the 'seaweed,' in the river, said the post. But he was found and arrested hours later by another shift of deputies.
In a separate case, deputies were called about a burglary in Finley and spotted a suspect fleeing into a ravine.
They used a drone to track him, and he eventually surrendered after realizing escape was unlikely, said the post.
But deputies had to dodge rattlesnakes and scorpions getting to him to make the arrest, they said, posting photos of the encounters.
Officials had yet to release the suspects' names or charges.

LA detectives release photo of sexual assault suspect, ask for additional victims to step forward
The Los Angeles Police Department released a photo of a sexual assault suspect officers arrested in May, hoping it would spur additional victims to step forward. Detectives said Jean Junior Dar, 42, allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted three men in their mid-20s. Investigators said in each case, Dar met the victims at a bar and invited them to an after-party at his Marina Del Rey home. After arriving, Dar allegedly gave the victims a drink that incapacitated them before the 42-year-old allegedly sexually assaulted them, according to the LAPD. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office charged Dar with two felony counts of sexual assault. He was released after posting bail.
