A sergeant’s patrol vehicle was disabled after it was hit by a fleeing suspect vehicle connected to a drive-by shooting late Friday night in Puyallup, according to information provided by the Pierce County Sheriff's Office public information officer.
The suspect vehicle, which had “just done a drive-by shooting,” ran a red light and T-boned the patrol vehicle, the deputy said.
After the collision, the suspect vehicle, driven by a 22-year-old man, fled in what was described as a hit-and-run.
The patrol vehicle was disabled, but the sergeant was not hurt.
An extensive search later led investigators to the suspect vehicle in a Fred Meyer parking lot.
