Washington Gov. Jay Inslee issued an emergency drought declaration across most of the state on Wednesday.
Redmond Police Chief Darrell Lowe and Washington State Patrol Captain Ron Meade hosted a news conference detailing the arrest Wednesday afternoon.
Meade said a 911 caller reported that an SUV heading east on State Route 520 entered a lane closed for construction and crashed shortly before 1:30 a.m. A contractor working for the Washington State Department of Transportation told investigators he suspected the driver was impaired, and the vehicle left the scene.

Troopers located an SUV with significant damage abandoned in a parking lot about half a mile from the crash scene, and the vehicle s plates returned Sherman s information, Meade said. As troopers searched the area, they learned of a separate call involving Sherman in the Redmond Police Department s jurisdiction.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee issued an emergency drought declaration across most of the state on Wednesday.
The declaration allows expedited permitting for emergency water rights and allows the government to safeguard water supplies, aid state agriculture and augment stream flows to protect fish. A drought emergency means that projected water supplies are expected to be significantly lower than normal.
Inslee said the drought was a result of climate change.
“This is the summer of climate change,” Inslee said during Wednesday’s press conference. “And we are hopeful this is the summer when we rally as a united state against this horrendous threat.”
