UPDATE: Police search at Olson/Myers

4:54 PM: We’re now en route to another police response people have been texting us about, a search near Olson/Myers. We know a K-9 team is part of it but don’t know yet who they’re searching for or why.

5:11 PM: This is no longer affecting traffic. Two police cars are on the shoulder by the exit from W. Marginal Way S. A damaged car was being towed from Cloverdale over 509.

5:39 PM: A neighbor tells us a suspect was taken into custody on 3rd SW on the other side of the steep, wooded hillside where we saw police cars, and that police say the case involved a stolen car and hit-run.

    Cops said the individual was involved in a stolen car hit and run. They had someone in custody. The man they had in custody is well known in the neighborhood and is believed to live in the greenbelt.

      Someone mentioned seeing that wreck or a similar one this morning.

    One victim in that case said he was told there was an arrest much earlier in the day. I wasn’t able to get followup information from police so I haven’t published anything on it yet.

Sorry, comment time is over.
