Seattle Domestic Violence Suspect Threatens Police With Jeep

A Seattle Police officer was almost run over with a Jeep while pursuing a man suspected of domestic violence in Washington State this week. According to the Seattle Times, police responded to a call made by a 31-year-old woman claiming that she and her partner had had a domestic dispute. By the time officers arrived at the residence, located in the 6300 block of 22nd Avenue Southwest, the man has taken the couple’s year-and-a-half-old son and fled the crime scene.

The Seattle woman involved in the domestic abuse incident was not injured.

Seattle Police soon found the man at a nearby convenience store, purchasing goods with his 18-month old son unrestrained in the front seat. When police confronted the man and asked him to put his hands above his head, he got in the car and attempted to run over one of the officers, who jumped out of the way. The incident took place at the parking lot of the 7-Eleven in the 4300 block of Southwest Admiral Way. Although the offices attempted to follow the vehicle, they did not want to chase the car because of the safety of the child. The Jeep was later found abandoned in a nearby alley.

Although Washington police do not believe that the child is in danger, they are seeking any information that citizens have about the suspect. He is a 27-year-old Caucasian, approximately 5’10” and 250 pounds with a long ponytail. He was last seen wearing a white tank top.
