Seattle police officers arrested a 25-year-old woman with felony warrants in possession of Fentanyl after running from cops in Belltown yesterday afternoon.
On Jan. 1 just before 1:00 p.m., an SPD officer saw a Mercedes with no license plates near Republican Street and Quen Anne Avenue North. Officers attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled from them at a high rate-of-speed, violating multiple traffic laws.
Shortly thereafter, police spotted the driver and another man getting out of the car near 4th Avenue and Battery Street. They began walking away from the vehicle as officers caught up to the driver and ordered her to stop. She ran from officers as they chased after her on foot, quickly arresting her.
Police found the woman to have an “armed and dangerous” caution and felony arrest warrants:
- $15,000 for Dangerous Drugs, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Escape, and Theft
- $15,000 for Possession of a Stolen Vehicle
During the arrest, police recovered:
- 1.3g Fentanyl
- Digital Scale, baggies
- Drug paraphernalia
- $116 Cash
- Mercedes car key
Officers booked the woman into the King County Jail for Eluding and her warrants. They requested criminal charges for Obstruction and narcotics possession. Officers detained the other man for questioning but later released him.
