Police in Vancouver, Wash., received a report of a possible assault in progress in a moving vehicle. They caught up with the car, and saw a woman passenger was apparently trying to get out of the vehicle, but the male driver wouldn’t let her. The driver also wouldn’t pull over for police, so a pursuit began. Because the woman was clearly in danger, officers didn’t break off their pursuit when the driver crossed the state line into Oregon. The car had been reported stolen (a felony), and the level of “eluding” the police was also a felony, and the apparent kidnap would also obviously be a felony. Police in Oregon set out spike strips to pop the fleeing vehicle’s tires, ending the pursuit. The 22-year-old driver, who has a rap sheet of four felony convictions, was arrested on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges. His name: Fellony Hudson.
