On Wednesday June 7th Marion County deputies attempted to make a traffic stop on a vehicle which then fled. Marion County deputies as well as other local law enforcement agencies then pursued the vehicle throughout the Salem and Keizer area. Ultimately a Marion County deputy performed a PIT maneuver in order to finally stop the vehicle which then led to the arrest of Brent Erickson. Mr. Erickson was lodged at the Marion County Jail on the following charges: Coercion, Assault 4, Harassment, Felony Elude, and Attempted Assault on a Public Safety Officer.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Oregon State Police and the Keizer Police Department for their assistance in resolving this situation.
