Clyde Hill police are looking for the driver of a stolen maroon Dodge Ram truck who rammed a police cruiser and attempted to run over an officer late Friday night.
According to a Bellevue Police Department press release, the officer, who was uninjured in the crash, fired at the vehicle which sped away and crashed in the 1800 block of N.E. 96th in Clyde Hill. The two suspects fled the truck on foot.
Kirkland and Bellevue K9 units were able to track one suspect to the 9300 block of N.E. 14th Street. The suspect was identified as the passenger of the stolen vehicle and was arrested and transported to Overlake Hospital Medical Center with a superficial gunshot wound to his arm. He was later booked into King County Jail.
The driver of the vehicle could not be found and is described as a 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8 white male, 18-20 years old, with platinum blonde short hair. He was wearing sweatpants and athletic shoes.
The truck was stolen from a residence in Woodinville after it was left unattended and running in the driveway. Reports followed of a recklessly driven pickup truck entering a Clyde Hill neighborhood.
The city of Clyde Hill is 1.5 miles east of Seattle and is bordered by the cities and towns of Bellevue, Kirkland, Medina, Yarrow Point and Hunts Point.
Anyone with information regarding the driver of the vehicle can call 911 and ask for the on-duty officer at Clyde Hill Police Department.
