Man throws chainsaw from car while speeding from deputies in Pierce County

PARKLAND, Wash. — The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) says two men stole a car from an apartment complex in Parkland on Sunday night.

At around 11:50 p.m., PCSO received a call from a woman reporting that her car had been stolen.

A K9 deputy saw the car minutes after it was reported stolen and tried to pull it over, but the suspects sped off heading southbound on I-5, according to the sheriff’s office.

During the chase, dashcam video captured the moment one suspect tossed a chainsaw out of the passenger side window, as well as other rope-type items.

They got off I-5 heading toward the Joint Base Lewis-McChord Logistics gate when the car got stuck, and the two men got out and ran, PCSO said.

A K9 team caught the 31-year-old passenger, and JBLM military police later found the 28-year-old driver.

Both were arrested and booked into jail.
