EVERETT — A former reserve police officer working in central Everett tackled and detained a man suspected of attempting to run over a police officer early today.
The man was the focus of an intense search that began at about 9:30 a.m., closing streets and some businesses and bringing dozens of police officers from around Snohomish County. He was arrested just before 1 p.m.
The search began after police shot at the man after he pinned an officer between the vehicle he was driving and a parked car. The man was last seen after he crashed the car in the 3800 block of Rucker Avenue and ran away.
The man was captured by a former Everett police reserve captain who was working on a building in the 3700 block of Wetmore Avenue and spotted him walking nearby.
The suspect ran and the former reserve officer chased him and threw him to the ground.
