We apparently had a photographer at the right place at the right time yesterday. Spokane Valley Police officers were chasing a man who allegedly stole a car and headed north on University until he got to I-90, then he got out and ran across the freeway and hid in the Spaulding Auto Parts wrecking yard. Spokesman-Review photographer Colin Mulvany was able to get a picture of police arresting Kevin Hodgson, 39.

Police were apparently chasing Hodgson because he was wanted on a warrant. He was arrested on the warrant as well as on charges of second degree robbery, second degree assault and attempting to elude police.
