A 28-year-old man was arrested after allegedly violating a domestic-violence no-contact order in Spanaway, then leading deputies on a lengthy high-speed pursuit that ended when a patrol car used a PIT maneuver. The early-morning incident on June 8 concluded with the suspect taken into custody and booked on multiple felony counts.
What Deputies Say
According to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched at about 7:15 a.m. after a protected person reported that her husband was outside yelling, trying to break down doors and windows, and contacting her "more than 100 times." Deputies tried to detain the man at the residence, but he allegedly fled in a vehicle before they could take him into custody. Additional narrative details about the call were later posted in the online Pierce County Sheriff's Office blotter.
Charges And What They Mean
The sheriff's office lists several counts, including felony violation of a no-contact order and felony burglary related to the alleged attempted entry, along with interfering with the reporting of domestic violence, attempting to elude law enforcement and resisting arrest.
Under Washington law, violating a protection or no-contact order can be charged as a gross misdemeanor, but repeated violations or conduct that amounts to assault or creates a substantial risk of serious injury can be elevated to a class C felony. The relevant provisions are outlined in RCW 26.50.110 and related sections in RCW 10.99, which explain how no-contact orders operate in criminal cases.
How The Pursuit Ended
According to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office, another deputy later spotted the suspect vehicle pulling onto 66th Ave. E in Spanaway, and the pursuit continued until deputies used a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) to stop the car near the 13100 block of Kapowsin Highway East. The 28-year-old suspect was arrested and booked into the Pierce County Jail on the counts listed by the department.
