GOING 10 IN A 40: On March 16 officers pulled over a vehicle that had drifted into the left-hand lane at a stoplight on SR 410. When the light turned green, the car did not move for almost ten seconds and when it did, it was going 10 mph in a 40 mph zone. Officers activated their emergency lights but the vehicle kept driving forward, passing several safe stopping places. When the vehicle parked in a parking lot, officers found the driver extremely impaired, handing officers a purple colored envelope as his vehicle registration. After volunteering to go through field sobriety tests, the driver was arrested and booked at Pierce County Jail for DUI.

HARD READING: Officers were dispatched to Bonney Lake High School after receiving a report of an assault on a student. Staff reported the victim was struck on the head, possibly with a text book, and lost consciousness. The student told officers they did not see who hit them as there were many students around at the time. The student’s parents were informed of the situation and the student was transported to Good Samaritan for evaluation.
