Story and Photo from the City of The Dalles Police Facebook page
The Dalles Police Department and the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office found themselves in the middle (literally) of a reckless driver today at about 5:30pm. Many patrol vehicles were escorting The Dalles High School Wrestling Team to Interstate 84 to compete in the State Championship. The suspect recklessly ran through the procession at 2nd and Webber and continued westbound on 2nd Street. The reckless driver had been called in to dispatch seconds prior.
Officers were able to conduct a traffic stop on the driver shortly after. The driver resisted instructions from the Officers and a county wide emergency assist was called over police radio. Responding units arrived shortly after and the suspect was taken into custody.
The suspect was transported to Adventist Health for reasons un-related to police contact. He was then lodged at NORCOR on various charges ranging from reckless driving to possession of a controlled substance.
