On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at about 1:00 a.m., a Washington County Sheriff's Office deputy attempted to stop a speeding vehicle on SW 185th Avenue near SW Johnson Street in Aloha.

When deputies caught up to the vehicle, they noticed the driver had fled and that two passengers remained inside. Deputies set up containment while Corporal Terry and K9 Griff began tracking the suspect. Griff located the suspect, 48-year-old Jason Clark of Banks, hiding under a staircase. Deputies arrested Clark without incident and took him to jail for attempting to elude.
