OCEAN SHORES, Wash. — Officers with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police Department arrested a wanted felon after he was caught doing donuts on the Ocean Shores Beach.
Officials said an officer with the department noticed a truck revving and sliding in circles on the razor clam beds on the beach and found six people in the vehicle – two adults in the front and four children in the back.
"When asked for his ID, the driver provided a driver's license that had the name SKIPPY. As expected, the name came back with no record," the department said in a news release.
The officer then checked the adult female passenger’s license to make sure she was legal to drive the vehicle and the children.
"After running her information it turned out the female passenger was a protected person in a domestic violence no-contact order, however the respondent was a different person other than SKIPPY," officials said.

The officer then called in additional units to assist in determining the identity of the male driver.
The officer used physicals, tattoos and photographs from the department of licensing to make a positive match to the actual name of the responded in the no-contact order.
Police said the respondent was considered to have high-violent tendencies and had numerous felony warrants.
Police said the driver was booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail on the outstanding warrants and the violation of the domestic violence no-contact order.
"It turns out SKIPPY had multiple felony warrants in two adjoining states and 14 pending felony charges in Washington, including assault 2nd, forgery, money laundering, theft 1st, trafficking in stolen property and bail jumping," police said.
