On Sunday, December 12 at 6:20 pm an officer observed a black 2006 Mazda 6 in the 1200 block of Beverly Dr. The tag was expired.
The officer attempted a traffic stop in the 600 block of Elgin. As the officer approached the car, the driver reportedly took off.
The driver is described by the officer as a male wearing a dark flat-billed hat and a black hoodie/sweatshirt.
The vehicle went westbound, north on Jameson, then west on Beverly. The driver curved around from Beverly to Centennial, then drove southbound. Speeds were reported to reach 75 mph. The pursuit then went east on Republic, then south on Pontiac. At this point, the officer reportedly lost sight of the vehicle.
Sometime later, SPD started receiving calls that a black vehicle with only three wheels was driving in the 1500 block of Cloud Circle. The same officer from earlier responded and found the vehicle parked facing south in the reported area. Witnesses described the subject as a light-skinned male with tattoos and carrying a backpack.
Officers were able to follow the vehicle's gouge marks from only having three tires, and found that the vehicle had driven through a yard in the 1100 block of Cloud Circle. The vehicle also allegedly drove through another yard in the 1400 block of Cloud Circle where it also struck a decorative light post. Officers continued to follow the gouge marks and found that the vehicle had hit the guy wire on a power pole at Elgin and Beverly.
Police are still looking for the driver.
