Two arrested after fiery crash in Spokane Valley
A man accused of a shooting in which a bullet landed near a sleeping toddler was arrested Friday night after a fiery car crash.
Joseph L. Bledsaw, 25, rolled his 1997 Pontiac on Sprague Avenue beneath Interstate 90 after police tried stopping him on suspicion of speeding near Sprague and Havana, according to the Spokane Valley Police Department.
Bledsaw was ejected from the car as it rolled several times. His passenger, Tanya M. Roybal, 26, also was injured. Their burning Pontiac blocked the westbound I-90 on-ramp.
Roybal was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant for third-degree driving while suspended. Bledsaw faces charges of first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with a Feb. 27 shooting at 15917 E. Sprague. Police say Bledsaw fired shots into an apartment after a couple complained to police about noise.
One of the bullets struck a metal bed post and landed on the blankets covering a 3-year-old girl, police said.
Bledsaw and Roybal were taken to a hospital before being booked into jail.

Both people in this pursuit had warrants, then chose to flee from police when sighted by officers on patrol.
Kudos to the detectives that worked to identify Bledsaw and kudos to the officers that pursed him and took him in. As a bonus, they also nabbed Roybal who was wanted also, on an outstanding warrant.
Luckily, no one else was hurt during the pursuit or wreck and the bad guys only have themselves to blame for their self-inflicted injuries. Wonder if Bledsaw had car insurance?
Again, great police work!

Seems our PEACE OFFICERS are listening to our cries for professionalism ! I may become a believer again someday! Thanks again to all our public employees for doing it the right way.Sometimes the high road is tougher to negotiate.The rewards from the extra effort are well worth the effort exerted. I myself am finding it much more satisfying writing about the positives than the negatives. :^)
