Lacey, USA - August 04, 2024

Dramatic dash cam footage has surfaced capturing the intense morning pursuit of a motorcycle, culminating in the apprehension of a suspect wanted for felony escape related to assault with a deadly weapon. The incident began when K9 Igo and his partner attempted to pull over a street bike in north Lacey for a traffic violation, only to have the rider flee.

The pursuit escalated onto Interstate 5, with speeds exceeding 130mph as law enforcement units from Thurston County and Olympia Police pursued the suspect. The chase continued onto Pacific Ave before the rider veered off-road into a trailer park, abandoning the bike. A swift perimeter was established, and K9 Igo successfully tracked the suspect to a trailer within the park, where he was apprehended.

Authorities identified the suspect as wanted on an active felony escape warrant for assault with a deadly weapon, in addition to being found in possession of suspected narcotics. The individual was subsequently booked into Thurston County Jail on charges including attempting to elude, driving with a suspended license, unlawful possession of controlled substances, and the outstanding warrant.
