On Saturday, April 20, 2024, the Auburn Police Department received a report of a vehicle driving through Lea Hill Park, with several witnesses claiming it was trying to intentionally run into people.
Police said that while enroute to the scene, a responding officer passed the Honda Fit as it was leaving.
The officer quickly spotted the vehicle, and a short pursuit began.
After stopping the vehicle, police arrested the 18-year-old male suspect and booked him into the King County Jail on multiple felony charges.
A female (20) was hit by the vehicle inside the park and is believed to have been known by the driver.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for their injuries.
“Early investigation leads officers to believe that this could most likely be a domestic violence situation, and the driver was targeting a significant other,” police said. “One of his charges is for DV Assault in the First Degree.”
This is still an ongoing investigation.
