8:55 p.m. After witnessing a car roll through a stop sign, police paced a car on Fox Cove Lane going 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer was barely able to keep up. The patrol car nearly lost control while pursuing the speeding car as it took tight turns at high speeds. Police believe the driver was trying to lose them. The pursuit continued to Olympic Beach Road where the driver pulled into his driveway. He called out to the officer that he was home now. Police asked the driver why he was driving so fast or why he didn’t pull over when they turned on their overhead lights. The driver said that he didn’t pull over because his driveway was 50 feet away. Police told him they thought he was trying to ditch them. He argued with them in response. “No way, Jose, was I trying to ditch you,” he said. The man was asked if he had anything to drink. He said he only had one glass of wine on the ferry. The driver then failed road side sobriety tests. He finished by saying, “Both you and I know I’m not drunk.” He then declined to take a breath test before getting back into his car and turning it on. Officers told him to turn the car off. He said he was just turning on the radio. Police noted that his attitude went from cooperative to “bellicose,” a term that he attributed to himself. The driver was cited for negligent driving and speeding. He left the officers saying he would see them in court.
