Citizens Help Arrest Hit-and-Run Suspect

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Spokane Valley and Spokane County deputies arrested Kyle T. Davis Jr., 29, on July 1 after citizens helped thwart his attempt to flee following a hit-and-run crash near Barker Road and the Spokane River.

Deputies responded to the crash at 7:20 p.m. in the 2300 block of N. Barker Road, where a black Subaru Impreza struck a parked vehicle before fleeing. Witnesses provided the license plate number and described Davis driving recklessly, passing other vehicles over a double yellow line. A witness saw Davis jump fences as he ran toward Mission, and deputies caught him trying to enter a white Acura.

Davis was booked into Spokane County Jail on multiple charges including Hit-and-Run-Unattended Vehicle, Driving Under the Influence, Driving without a Required Interlock Device, Obstructing Law Enforcement, and Possession of Motor Vehicle Theft Tools. Deputies found jiggler keys and drug paraphernalia on him, and the Subaru caught fire after he fled, requiring firefighters to extinguish flames.
