THURSTON COUNTY, Wash. — A man was arrested after running from police through snow-covered roads in Thurston County.
On Friday morning, Oympia Police were making a traffic stop when the driver in a pickup sped away.
When the driver entered the Tumwater area, deputies from Thurston County joined in the pursuit.
Driving through a snowy road, deputies PIT the pickup and it spun to a stop.
However, the driver backed up and continued driving backwards toward Tumwater, TCSO said.
Deputies conducted a second PIT and pinned the pickup into a tree.
According to TCSO, deputies tried to get the driver to give up for almost an hour before they shot out his window with foam bullets and sent the K9 into the pickup.
Deputies say the driver then assaulted the K9 before giving up.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI, two counts of eluding, two counts of assault on law enforcement officers and harming a police dog.
Two deputies were treated for minor injuries and two patrol cars were damaged.
