Man Arrested After Crash

A Spokane Valley man was arrested early Friday after his car slammed into a concrete barrier on Dishman-Mica Road.

David M. Douglas, of 4410 E. 14th, was arrested just before 2 a.m. Friday and charged with attempting to elude police, sheriff’s deputies reported.

A Sheriff’s Department spokesman said a deputy in a patrol car began pursuit of a vehicle on Eighth Avenue, activating his emergency lights and siren.

Instead of stopping, however, the vehicle accelerated and then slid out of control as it crossed Dishman-Mica, then crashed into a concrete barrier.

After the crash, the driver ran from the car.

Deputies found Douglas hiding beneath a van in the yard of a nearby business and arrested him.
