Sharyn’s Sirens: Daily police and fire roundup

POLICE BRIEFLY CHASE HIT AND RUN DRIVER

• A car that fled police in Centralia last night and sped down Interstate 5 to Chehalis before vanishing has been recovered, according to authorities. The Ford Concord was found stuck near the railroad tracks by Chestnut Street in Centralia, according to police.  They did not report when it was found or if the driver was with the vehicle. The motorist was driving recklessly and at high speeds trying to elude officers, according to the Centralia Police Department. Chehalis police saw it come off the freeway at 13th Street and pass Penny Playground going north on Cascade and Chehalis Avenues, according to police. It was last seen on North National Avenue heading back to Centralia, Chehalis police Sgt. Rick McNamara said. The pursuit began about 5:25 p.m. when it failed to stop for an officer dispatched to Starbuck’s on Harrison Avenue after the car was involved in a minor collision in the parking lot and left before police arrived to make contact with those involved, according to police. A Centralia police supervisor terminated the pursuit not long after it began because the risks involved in a chase outweighed the necessity of an arrest for the alleged violation, Centralia police reported this morning. The car was impounded so officers could search it, police said.
