The reporting party told police he is the executor of the estate of his mother, who died a few months earlier, and he noticed a check in the amount of $176.21 written to her account on Nov. 22. The fraudulent check bore the name of the man’s deceased mother, though the address was different. The routing numbers matched man’s mother’s account, though a check with the same number as the one cashed was found blank in the check book. A records check found no record of the driver’s license number that was hand-written at the top of the check. Police are investigating.

WARRANT: Police on routine patrol late on Dec. 3 ran the plate of a vehicle in the parking lot of Highway Grocery and discovered the registered owner to have an outstanding warrant.

He was detained on his warrant and transferred to the Puyallup Police Department.

After the car was out of the ditch, police contacted the drivers of both vehicles, who were father and son. The younger male told the officer the older male was driving when the car went into the ditch. The older male did not have a driver’s license and was identified through a Blackfeet Indian Reservation Enrolled Member Card out of Montana. The officer instructed the older male to move his car approximately 20 feet and pull over again to allow other cars to pass. The driver got in his vehicle and fled the scene at a high rate of speed. The officer was still in possession of the ID card and did not give permission to leave the scene as he was not dine interviewing the suspect. The officer asked the son to call his father and when the older male answered he told his son “Sorry, I am not coming back. I will deal with the consequences later.” A record check revealed the man to be driving with license suspended as well as having an outstanding warrant from Auburn. The son was also driving with license suspended. The son left the vehicle parked legally and walked to a friend’s house. Police cleared the scene and notified through the older male through voice mail that he would be charged and should turn himself in. The case was forwarded to the prosecutor for charges of driving with license suspended and obstructing a pubic servant.
