The following is from the Sherman County Sheriffs Office Facebook page:
Saturday night at 915 p.m., Sherman County deputies observed a black BMW traveling at 136 mph westbound from MP 109 on I-84. Shortly after, this same vehicle passed another one of our deputies traveling at 126 mph near MP 101 on I-84. The deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but it had other ideas and decided try and elude the deputies by accelerating and turning off all of it’s lights.
Fortunately, the Oregon State Police, The Dalles PD and Wasco County Sheriff’s Office were there to assist deputies in stopping this dangerous driver. After a successful spike strip deployment, this vehicle came to a stop near MP 79 on I-84.
The driver was arrested for Attempting to Elude and Reckless Driving. One of the passengers was also arrested for Carrying of Concealed Weapons.
