EVERETT, Wash. -- A Snohomish County deputy used his SUV to push back a car 40 feet after the driver intentionally rammed the patrol car while trying to escape.
Authorities said a deputy was conducting a traffic stop near the intersection of 132nd Street SW and Ash Way when the driver reached a dead-end and tried to ram through a chain link fence that separated two apartment complexes.
Deputy Wallin pursued the car and stopped in a driveway. Officials said the suspect then put the car in reverse, accelerated and rammed the patrol SUV.
Deputies explain what happened next:
Investigators discovered the vehicle had just been stolen from Mukilteo and had not even been reported yet.
The suspect was taken to the hospital for treatment of dog bites. He was then transferred to the Snohomish County Jail where he was booked on investigation of several felony charges -- in addition to several outstanding warrants.
