A Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office patrol car was stolen February 19 by a fleeing suspect following a hit-and-run.
According to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, Arlington police were initially looking for a man who had hit a vehicle while driving a truck and trailer in Arlington.
The suspect then reportedly drove to a family member’s house near Edgecomb and crashed into their garage.
When deputies arrived, the suspect was arguing with a family member.
While a deputy was trying to de-escalate the situation, the suspect climbed into the deputy’s patrol car and started driving away.
New bodycam video released by Snohomish County shows the moment the suspect gets into the car and drives away.
Two Arlington officers were able to pin the stolen patrol car as it was leaving and arrest the suspect.
No injuries were reported, and there were only minor scratches to the deputy’s car.
