Over the weekend in Kennewick, a year-old woman was held against her will by a year-old boy and then lead police on a crazy car chase through Kennewick with blown tires in a stolen car. The pair were reported to be in a white Range Rover that had been reported stolen a few days earlier. Police spotted the pair sitting inside the rover in a parking lot near Clover Island Inn. That Range Rover had been reported stolen earlier and had eluded police a few days earlier.
Knowing that there is only one road off Clover Island with water on both sides, police set up spike strips before engaging the Range Rover. After setting the spike strips, officers turned on their emergency lights and the Range Rover driven by the year-old boy tried to get away. The officer started the pursuit of the Range Rover, but suddenly it reversed and crashed into the front of the patrol car. After crashing into the patrol car and disabling it, the Range Rover driven by the year-old boy tried to evade police by driving over 60 miles per hour around Washington street.
Two different times police were successful in deflating the tires of the Range Rover, eventually popping both front tires. After the front tires were popped and the Range Rover stopped, the police managed to take both into custody. The woman was "safely secured" and this dangerous and scary event finally came to an end with no one hurt.
