Later that day, a 49-year-old was arrested in an RV park for assaulting another guest and resisting arrest. The suspect, who was reportedly heavily intoxicated, allegedly punched the victim in the head and threatened to kill him. Deputies faced a brief struggle before taking him into custody, “Deputies ordered the suspect to exit his trailer, but he was uncooperative” as stated by the

The next day, on November 10, an alleged wire thief was apprehended by deputies in Spanaway after a 911 call tipped them off to the suspicious activity. According to the

, the 49-year-old man posed as a utility worker to steal wire from light poles. He attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended after a short chase and struggle. On November 11, a commercial burglary was reported at a South Hill paint supply store, where surveillance video captured a suspect in a black Dodge pickup truck breaking into the premises. “The suspect tried to pry open the door but failed, so he ended up smashing the glass to gain entry.” After stealing items, the individual promptly fled the scene.
The weekend’s events concluded with a DUI arrest that escalated into a pursuit. On November 11, deputies responded to a welfare check at a gas station, which led to a pursuit ending with the use of a PIT maneuver and a Taser deployment to subdue the suspect after he attempted to escape on spiked tires, as per the
