Monroe man who led chase had felony warrant Snohomish County Tribune

Jorge Carranza, a Monroe man, is currently facing legal repercussions after leading police on a dramatic chase in late January. He was arrested due to an outstanding felony warrant from California related to drug possession and firearm charges. After pleading not guilty during his arraignment on February 28, Carranza's trial is set to commence on April 18. The police pursuit began when a Snohomish Police sergeant engaged Carranza about overnight camping issues in a local library parking lot. Ignoring the officer's attempts to stop him, Carranza fled in his GMC Yukon, leading to a slow-speed chase through Monroe.

Police reports indicate that he eventually abandoned the SUV and attempted to escape a K-9 manhunt. Days later, he visited the police station, falsely reporting that his vehicle had been stolen. Carranza now faces serious charges, including felony attempts to elude police and a misdemeanor for obstructing law enforcement, highlighting the complexities of his case and the ongoing legal proceedings.
