Two people led Thurston deputies on a chase after allegedly stealing from Nike store
Video posted by the Thurston County Sheriff (TCSO) shows deputies chasing an SUV with two people inside following an alleged theft at a Nike store in Centralia, TCSO posted on Facebook. On May 11, deputies were alerted to one person stealing from the store and then seen getting into a red SUV, which drove off onto I-5 northbound, the sheriff says. Thurston deputies say they found the SUV and tried to pull it over, but the driver started to flee. Dashcam shows a deputy chasing the SUV at high speed on I-5, and at one point, the patrol car deployed a Starchase GPS tracking device, but it did not stick to the vehicle. The SUV got off I-5 at the DuPont exit and slammed into a wall on the right side of the road, then went across the road, hitting another wall on the left side before a patrol car pinned the SUV. One suspect was arrested for the alleged theft and an active warrant, while the alleged getaway driver was booked for eluding police, reckless endangerment, and possession of stolen property, TCSO said.
