TRAFFIC TUESDAY
Message from YPD Traffic Unit - Celebrate Responsibly!
INCIDENT STATEMENT
On December 29th at 9:45am, federal agents were in pursuit of a vehicle with a wanted occupant inside. The pursuit entered the City of Yakima from I-82 onto Yakima Ave. The eluding vehicle collided with three vehicles at 6th Street and E. Yakima Ave. The driver of the suspect vehicle fled the collision scene and was apprehended several blocks away by Yakima Police Officers. Per Washington State law, Yakima Police responded to the incident, to investigate the collision and related events. A 41-year-old male was taken into custody for felony hit-and-run, as well as eluding. Occupants from the victim vehicles, sustained minor injuries and were treated at Memorial Multi-Care. It should be noted that YPD officers only became involved after a crime occurred within the City of Yakima.

So, chased by ice?
Not immigration and custom enforcement. Federal agents primarily belong to law enforcement agencies under the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), like the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Marshals, enforcing federal laws, ensuring justice, and protecting national security, though agents also serve in other departments like Homeland Security (DHS) for border security or financial crimes.
Would YPD have allowed the pursuit to continue downtown at 9:45 am?
Are drivers obligated to stop when unmarked vehicles driven by people wearing masks attempt to pull them over?
I saw a wreck this morning on Highway 97. Did someone try to Dukes of Hazard it over that new roundabout?!
Would the crash have happened if YPD had been allowed to assist by stopping traffic at 6th St ?
No YPD. it was Ice!!
The hit an run happened because he was being chased or when did that happened?
Transparency would help build trust.
Ellie Sensney stuff like this
Unmarked vehicles driven by masked people refusing to identify themselves attempting to apprehend someone are kidnappers, it's reasonable to flee as though your life depends on it.
YPD thank you for pairing up with Federal Law Enforcement and doing your part in trying to keep our communities safer.
Glad they caught him!
Thank you YPD 💙💙
Great job LEO!
Linda Shepherd Anderson i don't see where it says unmarked? Did they have flashing lights? Even state Patrol have unmarked,so does PD, i also don't see where it says " mask wearing" officers. I ask this sincerely. Unless you are reading something I'm not seeing? OR did bad guys try to outrun the law? I would venture to guess the person knew it was law enforcement of some kind Why did they/ he take off and not pull over? Putting citizens in danger?
Now make the charges stick!
Thank you all for your service and keeping us safe
Thank you YPD 💙💙💙
Good job LEOs.
For those who don't know, the Yakima police departament is one of the few police departments in Washington state that openly cooperates with the immigration agency ICE.
I completely agree with that
👏👏👏 about time ice hits Washington state
The more y’all have to specifically state “IT SHOULD BE NOTED…etc.” the more and more it sounds like you’re involvement needed to be justified. Choose your words wisely. Sometimes they come back and bite ya. God Bless.
Keep up the great work!
🎁HOLIDAY JOY IN UNIFORM
Smiles were the best gift this holiday season! This week, YPD officers along with many other local law enforcement agencies were honored to shop with local kiddos as well as deliver holiday gifts. The joy on children’s faces reminds us why community matters and brought just as much cheer to the officers as it did to the kids. Thank you to the folks at Fred Meyer and everyone who helped make it possible!
