Deputies arrested an 18-year-old man for allegedly assaulting law enforcement after a hit-and-run in Poulsbo, Washington on Tuesday night.

According to the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called around 8:30 p.m. to reports of a teenager rear-ending another car, then shouting slurs at the driver before speeding away. The incident occurred at the intersection of Central Valley Rd and Bucklin Rd.

Deputies spotted the suspect vehicle a short time later at Silverdale Waterfront Park. They approached the 18-year-old suspect, who refused a breathalyzer test, so he was taken to St. Michael Medical Center for a blood draw.

While being loaded onto a gurney for transport, authorities say he kicked a deputy and resisted medical staff.

After the blood draw, he was booked into Kitsap County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence, hit-and-run and third-degree assault.
