A police pursuit that started in Lynden ended with a man being arrested for reckless driving, eluding police and resisting arrest in Custer on October 4.
Lynden Police Department officers noticed a white pickup truck driving the wrong way on a one-way street in Lynden and driving on the sidewalk for several hundred yards, Lynden police chief Steve Taylor told The Northern Light. The driver allegedly fled when officers attempted to stop the truck and continued driving west on Birch Bay-Lynden Road.
Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office deputies set out spike strips near Valley View Road that caused three of the truck’s tires to deflate, Taylor wrote. The vehicle then drove south onto I-5, where law enforcement officers made contact with the driver.
Officers pulled the driver from his truck when he refused to exit the vehicle, Taylor wrote. He allegedly continued to resist officers as they arrested him.
The man was booked into Whatcom County Jail on October 4 and, as of October 11, remains in jail in lieu of $30,000 bail.
