Chase Ends When Mercedes Runs Out of Gas | Portland News

A high-speed chase erupted early Friday on Highway 26 as a white Audi pursued a black Mercedes after the latter was stolen—with its occupant still inside. The Audi driver, trying to flag down deputies, led them in a wild pursuit through Portland and toward Scappoose, ending when the Mercedes ran out of gas. Inside, deputies found the trapped woman, who said the suspect, 27-year-old Tyrone Thompson, had taken her phone. She escaped unharmed. Thompson now faces multiple charges including kidnapping, theft, and reckless driving, and is jailed in Washington County. This chase underscores the deadly risks when innocent lives are caught in the crosshairs of criminal escape. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
