At 7:16 p.m. on Thursday, a Monmouth Police officer stopped a Honda Civic on Pacific Highway North near mile post 61, according to a press release from MPD. Once the officer stepped out of his patrol vehicle, the Honda, driven by Larson, sped off north on Highway 99W, through Rickreall on Rickreall Road, and onto Highway 22. Larson threw a black bag onto the highway at mile post 25, which was later recovered and found to contain syringes and methamphetamine. Larson continued into Salem and ultimately crashed into a curb in a parking lot at Bush’s Pasture Park, in the 800 block of Mis- sion Street Southeast. He fled on foot and was located by Salem Police at the Salem Hospital, where he was ar- rested without incident. Larson had another bag in his possession that con- tained almost $2,000 in cash. Larson was transported to Polk County Jail where he was lodged on the following charges: attempt to elude felony (in car) and misde- meanor (on foot), driving under the influence of in- toxicants, failure to perform the duties of a driver, reck- less driving, possession of methamphetamine, deliv- ery of methamphetamine and a warrant for parole vi- olation.
