NINE MINUTES, 90 MPH

• A police pursuit along U.S. Highway 12 that began east of Glenoma ended near Morton when spike strips flattened the two right tires of a vehicle carrying a suspected intoxicated driver last night. It was just after 10 p.m. when a deputy attempted to pull over a vehicle traveling an estimated 85 mph but its driver refused to stop, according to  authorities. Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said when the vehicle finally did stop near Priest Road, the driver stumbled out and then was extremely combative. Charging documents allege Miguel A. Leyva Jr., 46, exited his vehicle and then fell face down on the roadway. Although he was at gunpoint, he got up and got in and out of his vehicle twice before a trooper arrived, charging documents state. At one point, he dropped his pants and said he was unarmed, the documents state.  Leyva was eventually taken into custody. The nine minute chase reached speeds of 90 mph, according to prosecutors. The Eastern Washington resident was booked into the Lewis County Jail for eluding, for driving under the influence, and for first-degree driving with a suspended license, and then charged today with those offenses in Lewis County Superior Court. His bail was set at $50,000.
