A string of crimes jolted the Pierce County community over the weekend, starting in the early hours of May 4, as a patrol deputy observed a Toyota Corolla weaving erratically on the road, an incident that culminated in a DUI arrest on 160th St E & Woodland Ave E in South Hill; the deputy, who had been en route to another call, witnessed the car's inconsistent speed and abrupt braking before conducting the traffic stop that led to the apprehension of the 51-year-old driver, who was later taken to a hospital for a blood draw and then booked into jail.

Later that day, a two-car crash on the Fox Island Bridge Road left a Honda Accord driver hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, reportedly losing control of the vehicle on a sloped curve and spinning into the oncoming lane, where the car was struck by an incoming Ford F-550; the deputy dispatched to the scene noted the other driver was unharmed despite the collision's impact.

That evening, deputies responded to a possible toddler overdose at an Eatonville gas station; according to reports, Eatonville Police were presented with the unresponsive young girl, showing symptoms of methamphetamine ingestion, and fire personnel immediately transferred her to hospital care where she is now stabilized, and during this tragic sequence, deputies discovered methamphetamine concealed within the 32-year-old mother's clothing, leading to her arrest alongside the 39-year-old father for reckless endangerment, while their three other children were placed under protective custody.

The lawlessness persisted into the early morning of May 5th when deputies investigated a commercial burglary at a painting business on Key Peninsula Hwy NW, where perpetrators had boldly cut a fence, siphoned gas from a truck, leaving behind a gas-soaked hose as evidence, and the businesses' surveillance video depicted two suspects involved in the fuel theft before they fled, as if blind to the likelihood that their brazen act was captured on camera.

Just a couple of hours after the burglary, a vehicle prowl incident unfolded on Pacific Ave S in Spanaway, where a woman allegedly forced herself into a car, this action was captured by the victim's witness while inside a store; the perpetrator, a 24-year-old woman, refused initial intervention, locking herself in the vehicle before ultimately surrendering to a deputy’s orders, culminating in her arrest and the additional charge of malicious mischief for the damage inflicted on the car's interior.
