Car chase through Pullman leads to arrest
On Tuesday morning, deputies arrested David Pock, 45, after he led them on a high-speed chase through Pullman. This incident began when police tried to stop Pock's vehicle while investigating a harassment report from the previous evening. Pock, from Fernwood, Idaho, refused to pull over, resulting in a dangerous pursuit that ended with a crash at Trinity Lutheran Church on Lybecker Street. After abandoning his vehicle, he fled on foot but was quickly captured by law enforcement. He now faces serious charges, including second-degree assault and felony eluding.
The Whitman County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the circumstances surrounding the harassment incident. This event highlights ongoing concerns about public safety and law enforcement responses to high-speed pursuits. Local residents may feel increased anxiety following this incident, prompting discussions about community safety measures.
