Centralia police shot a subject with a bean bag last night ending a prolonged incident that began in Toledo and ended on Interstate 5 in Centralia.
Centralia police responded just before 10 p.m. to assist other agencies with a fleeing suspect near the northbound exit at Mellen Street.
Firefighters were asked to standby because the person apparently had a gas can and a lighter and threatened to light himself on fire, according to the Chehalis Fire Department.
The subject was taken into custody.
