Chase suspect admits, ‘I was stupid’

Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff’s Office emailed us today about the chase through Ballard yesterday. He says that after an 8-minute chase, a 44-year-old Seattle man was taken into custody. The convicted felon was driving a stolen Honda and has a suspended driver’s license in the 2nd degree. He was booked into the county jail for felony flight (eluding), driving while suspended and reckless driving. Urquhart said that when arresting deputies asked him why he didn’t stop for the police, he replied, “I was stupid.”
