Why was SWAT responding from the area of 64th and Washington to this call? It was a pretty awesome sight to watch the parade.
It’s wild he was caught outside of the perimeter lol
Racking up the charges in my head. 📃
Jay Oakley Philp is the 25 year olds name per inmate records
I wonder if he is responsible for the robbery in Selah last week?
What about the other suspect
Was the suspect the male pedestrian that stopped a car 2 house into swat being there on same block offering $500 to get him out of town then was ran over by the scared driver? He refused medical attention as he latched onto the car ended up under the back tire and driver took off out of fear police were able to locate the car I sure hope they weren’t arrested as I’d be scared too. Within 30 mins of that incident police arrested the pedestrian which was the suspect that they were trying to get. Just very wierd situation that could have turned very ugly real quickly being he was armed. I hope the tow place was searched and hope the gun is found. I followed this live the whole almost 3 hours it was insane!
someone caught the whole thing',"this one"., Incident responsed
I wonder why they didn't state he tried to carjack someone & wound up getting hit by there car that's how they cought him
Was it the same guy they were looking for on 48th? Because that was earlier like at 2pm and then they left from here around 3:30
Was that the guy that looked like a bowling ball? How did he get away in the first place.
