Man and Boy in Custody after Police Chase

LONGVIEW — Two people have been arrested after leading police on a chase across south Longview in a stolen plumbing truck. Police say a man and boy face evading arrest charges. Longview police spokeswoman Kristie Brian said on Friday, the adult drove the heisted truck down High, Cole, and Jewel, hitting at least two cars along the way. It finally crashed through a stop sign and scraped a house before coming to a stop in the 200 block of Jewel Drive. The boy tried to run away after the vehicle came to a stop but was quickly detained, Brian said. The suspects’ vehicle also struck a fire hydrant and two other vehicles during the chase.
