High Speed ATV Pursuit

21-year old William Hudson is behind bars after trying to speed away from police on his ATV without a helmet while intoxicated.

Hudson allegedly burst into a friend's house earlier Thursday night and picked a fight at a home on Indian Circle. The incident was reported to police. They located Hudson near Southwest Salmon and 23rd around 11-30 but he sped off.

"It sounded like a go-cart type thing and after that I heard a cop car with the flashing lights," said Lorie Bush, who lives nearby.

Police chased him for almost a mile down city streets--reaching speeds over 70 miles an hour.

"It's very dangerous at night, especially with a vehicle that isn't registered from the street or street legal to ride on the street," said Lt. Larry Prince with the Redmond Police Department.

Redmond Police say the high speed pursuit ended here at the corner of Southwest Salmon and 20th Court. Hudson tried to make a right turn and slid into the curb. He then ditched the four wheeler and ran right into Dorothy Baker's yard.

"I couldn't pull into my driveway," Baker said.

She lives in this corner house and had just returned from dinner when she saw cops swarming her street.

"He used my recyling can as a getaway tool to jump over the fence and hide from the police officers," Baker explained.

Hudson was apprehended near his house a short time later and sent back to jail. He was already out on parole.

He's charged with a DUII, burglary, reckless driving, eluding officers, and violating parole.
