PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man was arrested in Clark County on Valentine’s Day for allegedly trying to evade Washington State Patrol in a truck stolen out of Tualatin.
Authorities attempted to stop 28-year-old Jesus Aldair Moreno Abarca at 2 a.m. on I-205 near Padden Parkway. Abarca fled southbound in the truck and multiple law enforcement vehicles gave chase in snowy weather.
A Clark County Sheriff’s Office sergeant ended the pursuit by positioning his vehicle behind the truck and deploying a “grappler” — a net and tether system used to stop vehicles during car chases.
