Wayne Ross, arrested on multiple counts after police pursuit of stolen vehicle leads to multiple crashes and minor injuries in Clark County.

A high-speed chase that led from the Salmon Creek area to Uptown Village in Vancouver and ended with a crash and a suspect subdued by a law enforcement Taser, assisted by a mohawked, skateboard-wielding man and another bystander.

The chase began as a report of a disturbance at 2:48 p.m. in the 2400 block of Northeast 129th Street in the Salmon Creek area. Clark County Sheriff's Office deputies later reported a red four-wheel-drive pickup driving at high speeds south on Northeast 50th Avenue.

The fleeing vehicle nearly struck a school bus as it fled from deputies on a route that took it south at speeds of 90-95 mph, according to radio traffic. The vehicle also swerved into oncoming lanes, according to radio traffic.

The chase moved south onto St. Johns Road through Minnehaha and eventually passed over state Highway 500 and into Rose Village before reaching Fourth Plain Boulevard.

The driver eluded officers after turning on Fourth Plain, but drew attention moments later when he was involved in a crash with a black Jeep at the intersection of Fourth Plain and Broadway at about 3:13 p.m. Three people were in the Jeep, and none were seriously hurt.

John and Dorothy Golphenee and their 17-year-old son, Joseph, were driving their black Jeep north on Broadway through a green light at the intersection of Fourth Plain Boulevard when the red Ford F-250 pickup drove through a red light west on Fourth Plain and struck the Jeep.

The force propelled the front end of the Jeep into a concrete pole on the northwest corner of the intersection. Dorothy and Joseph Golphenee said they had minor injuries and didn't need to be transported to the hospital. Dorothy Golphenee said the family was running errands at the time. They didn't know there was a police pursuit at the area. John Golphenee is a driver for The Columbian.

Immediately after the collision, the suspect jumped out of the red pickup and ran across a Walgreens parking lot at the southwest corner of the intersection, said bystander Bobby Lawson.

Lawson said he was standing on the southeast corner of the intersection with a soda he's purchased from the store when the collision happened.

Despite the fact that he has emphysema, Lawson and a skateboard-wielding bystander chased the suspect through the parking lot and through an alleyway, Lawson said.

"Right when we got to him, the police had already tase(r)ed him," Lawson said. "...it kind of scared me. I just saw the guy drop."

Lawson said he had to go to his home nearby to fetch his inhaler before police investigators could interview him.

He said the Golphenees happen to be his customers at Jiffy Lube.

"It's kind of weird it's my customers," he said.

Brittany Foster, 22, of Vancouver was walking south on Main Street back from Walgreens when she saw people running and screaming. She took off her headphones and saw a man, whom she described as being in his 20s with a dark mohawk and carrying a longboard-style skateboard, running after the suspect.

"He was running, and he tackled him to the ground," Foster said. "He hit the guy with a longboard ... it was crazy."

"If it wasn't for him, I don't know if they would have caught the guy," Foster said.

Officers said that during the foot pursuit, many other bystanders helped by pointing the chasing officer in the direction of the suspect.

Vancouver police confronted the man at the intersection of Main and 22nd streets in Uptown Village and subdued him with a Taser at about 3:17 p.m.

Ambulances were dispatched to the scene of the crash and to where the suspect was subdued.

The suspect was identified by Wayne Ross, according to the CCSO. He has six felony warrants out of Oregon.

The pickup had been stolen, according to the CCSO.
