A pursuit by numerous police agencies through Lewis County this afternoon ended with two males – wanted in connection with an Olympia homicide – taken into custody near Kelso.<\/p>\n

Winlock Police Department Officer Steve Miller was on the Park Road overpass at Interstate 5 when he spotted the suspect vehicle eastbound on Park Road, according to Winlock Police Chief Terry Williams. It was about 2:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Olympia police detectives had asked for assistance in locating the subjects in the Winlock area, Williams said.<\/p>\n

A pursuit ensued through various county roads at speeds at times in excess of 95 mph, maybe into triple-digits, according to Williams.<\/p>\n

Miller was joined in the chase by Toledo police and deputies from both Lewis and Cowlitz counties, the chief said.<\/p>\n

Williams said the occupants of the stolen car were throwing full pop cans and several lit firework-like items at their pursuers. He said they were an unknown type of incendiary device, possibly mortars.<\/p>\n

The chase wound onto Jackson Highway and through Toledo and eventually back to Interstate 5 at exit 57 where Officer Miller conducted a so-called PIT maneuver, but the car recovered and continued on, according to Williams.<\/p>\n

The car continued south on Interstate 5 where troopers and police from Castle Rock and Kelso joined in until the car lost control and wrecked, William’s said.<\/p>\n

Doty resident Sharyl King Quinn said she was passing through Castle Rock headed home when she saw a dozen police vehicles “flying” southbound with lights and sirens.<\/p>\n

The chief said it was either because of spike strips set out to stop them or attempting to avoid the strips that caused the crash.<\/p>\n

The wanted subjects were taken into custody, Williams said.<\/p>\n

The Olympian newspaper reported detectives were after a person interest in Friday’s homicide<\/a> at an apartment on Lilly Road in Olympia.<\/p>\n

Olympian news reporter Lisa Pemberton wrote earlier this evening the chase initially began<\/a> near Centralia and ended with the crash that shut down Interstate 5 near near the Three Rivers Mall in Kelso this afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Longview Daily News reported<\/a> the two occupants were 21-year-olds and that nobody was injured.<\/p>\n

Update<\/em>: <\/em>from The Olympian on Monday March 12, 2012 at 5:27 p.m.: News reporter Jeremy Pawloski writes the two 20-year-olds were in Thurston County Superior Court today<\/a> in connection with the stabbing death of a 29-year-old Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
