Man fled on motorcycle, truck and kid's bike in effort to elude police

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A man is being held in Snohomish County Jail after briefly eluding police in a stolen truck, on a motorcycle and on a child's stolen bicycle.

The Daily Herald of Everett reports that the 33-year-old man and his girlfriend were found at an abandoned house in Everett with four stolen Ford pickups.

Detective Terry Haldeman says the man sped away in a pickup truck before crashing in a ravine. The man then snatched a bike from one of two boys who had ridden to check on the crash and fled with the children in pursuit.

Haldeman says when the man saw deputies he crashed the bike and fled on foot. He then broke into a garage and took off on a motorcycle. He crashed the motorcycle and was taken into custody.
