MARYSVILLE – Detectives are investigating a burglary that took place at Hilton Pharmacy at 3rd Street and State Avenue at about 4:45 a.m. March 24.
The first-arriving officer observed two suspects running out of the store, fleeing on foot in the opposite directions.
The officer chased one suspect, an 18-year-old Seattle man, and used a Taser to stop him. He is in a hospital being evaluated for medical clearance to book into jail.
Other officers observed a vehicle speeding away, so they pursued northbound on State Avene. After approximately four miles the pursuit was called off due to dangers to others.
The officer could see two people in the late-model Cadillac.
Some drugs stolen from the pharmacy were recovered in the backpack of the captured suspect.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 360-363-8350.
