Police identify suspect involved in car chase The suspect is wanted by Grants Pass police on various charges By Jesse Sowa Community Reporter The man involved in a standoff with Eugene police last weekend has been identified by fingerprints as Phillip Rae Tucker, 32, accord ing to a police release. According to the release. Tuck er led police on a short vehicle pursuit Saturday at about 5:35 p.m. after he failed to yield when police tried to stop the car. Tuck er attempted to ram a police offi cer's car, and later ran the vehicle he was driving into a tree in the access parking lot near Foch Street at 2555 Roosevelt St. He exited the vehicle and lev eled a rifle at the officer driving the car, who was just pulling in behind the suspect’s vehicle. Tucker then ran on foot from the area with the rifle. Tucker was later located by passing citizens at a small travel trailer behind Emerald City Auto Sales at 376 Hwy. 99 N. He was acquainted with the subjects in the trailer. Police surrounded the trailer, after which time all three of the residents left Tucker in the trailer alone. One of the subjects, Richard Leroy Wolf, 29, was taken into custody on an outstanding drug warrant. It was determined that Tucker was still armed with the rifle in side the trailer. Police negotiators established telephone contact with Tucker, who refused to exit the trailer. SWAT officers then threw several rounds of tear gas into the trailer with no reaction from Tucker. Fol lowing several hours of negotia tions, he came to the door of the trailer and was taken into custody. Detectives responded to the lo cation of the crashed vehicle and removed all of the components necessary for the manufacture of methamphetamine. The vehicle driven by Tucker was not stolen. Tucker is charged with attempt ed assault, unlawful manufactur ing and possession of a controlled substance, hit and run and elud ing the police. Police are still collecting infor mation regarding alias names used by Tucker. Under his current name, Tucker has an outstanding federal warrant from Grants Pass for first-degree theft, carrying a concealed knife, carrying a con cealed firearm and resisting arrest stemming from an incident in 1997.
