MILL CREEK — A man was arrested early Wednesday after a high-speed pursuit that wound from Mill Creek to south Everett to Snohomish. No injuries were reported.

Mill Creek Sgt. Bart Foutch attempted to pull over the man about 11 p.m. Tuesday near the Fred Meyer parking lot along 132nd Street SE.

The suspect, 21, of Everett, reportedly took off in a 1987 Toyota Corolla. It later was determined to be stolen.

He allegedly ran several red lights as he headed toward the I-5 on-ramp at 128th Street SE. He failed to navigate the turn and ran off the road, according to the arrest report. As Foutch started to park nearby, the man allegedly backed into the squad car and took off again. The squad car had minor damage.

The chase reached speeds of 110 mph on northbound I-5 and then turned onto U.S. 2, the report says. It ended when the man crashed into a concrete guard rail in the area of the Bickford Avenue overpass. The arrest occurred not long after midnight.

The man was being held Wednesday on suspicion of attempting to elude and assault, among other offenses. A passenger also was arrested on warrants.
