On Wednesday, April 28, 2021 at 8:45p.m., a North Precinct officer stopped a car for reckless driving in the area of Northeast Killingsworth Street and Northeast Sandy Boulevard. After pulling over, the driver tried to run away on foot, working his way down to Interstate-205 at Northeast Killingsworth Street. As officers pursued, the suspect ran out into the traffic, tried to flag down cars, then tried to open car doors as drivers slowed. He did this in both the northbound and southbound lanes. Officers believe he tried to get into as many as 8 vehicles before he was arrested. Only one of the potential victim drivers stopped to talk to officers.
