Headline of the day award goes to KOMO’s Michael Harthorne for this lil nugget of local crime news out of Lakebay about a 51-year-old man who, according to charges filed with Pierce County Superior Court, took a little joyride in his dad’s go-kart:
But when the deputy tried to pull the vehicle over, it sped into oncoming traffic before turning onto 50th Street KP North and “drifting” into a nearby driveway, where it hit a parked car, according to the charging documents.
The deputy watched as the driver of the vehicle reportedly got out, removed his helmet and ran behind the house.
The suspect, Anthony Farnam, allegedly had a suspended license and a switchblade, and was pretty stoked to drive the go-kart real fast.
Deputies found Farnam lying on a bed inside the house, and he was arrested. According to the charging documents, a smirking Farnam gloated about getting away from the deputy.
Anthony’s dad is gonna be SO PISSED.
