On Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at 5:09 pm Officers Jason Dolan and Patr ick McConnell were on routine patrol when they saw an older Ford Mustang. They checked the license plate and learned the car did not have valid insurance. The driver then made a turn without signaling onto I -205 north from 10th Street. Officer McConnell was driving and signaled the Mustang to stop. The driver of the car then accelerated rapidly onto the freeway with the officers in pursuit. The Mustang took the Hwy 43 / West Linn exit and attempted to turn right at the bottom of the ramp. They failed to negotiate the turn and the Mustang drifted across the road, jumped the curb, and plunged down the embankment. The officers began to surround the car as the occupants fled. Officers from West Linn, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, the Oregon State Police and a K -9 from Clackamas County Sheriff's Office responded to assist. The two passengers in the car were detained for a short time. During the search citizens called in numerous sightings. Despite the assistance from nearly a dozen officers, the driver, Sean Ivan DETRICK, age 36, of SE Portland, avoided capture. DETRICK has an outstanding warrant for unauthorized use of a Vehicle (UUV) with caution indicators due to prior arrests for eluding police and weapons charges. If anyone sees this subject, they are asked to contact the West Linn Police.
