OLYMPIA — A Washington State Patrol trooper suffered scrapes and a sore shoulder when she was knocked down by a pickup truck that grazed her on Highway 101 at Olympia.
Trooper Guy Gill told The Olympian that Trooper Tricia Krantz will recover at home.
Gill said the 12-year veteran was walking back to her patrol car after a traffic stop Monday when she saw the pickup and leaned against her car door. The truck snagged a Taser on her tool belt and knocked her down. The truck driver fled.
The driver who had been stopped by the trooper ran to help her. Another driver followed the pickup and took down a partial license number. That led to the arrest of a 27-year-old Olympia man who was jailed for investigation of hit-and-run.
