The Poulsbo man suspected of murder and then driving his truck into multiple vehicles along Highway 3 early last Monday morning was arrested just minutes after leaving the scene where a 45-year-old victim, identified as Andrea Gaudette, was found the following day.
Stephen Terry Harvey, 48, of Poulsbo, was arrested and booked into Kitsap County Jail just before 7 a.m. on Feb. 5, after Washington State Patrol and Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputies responded to multiple calls of a white Toyota Tundra driving erratically and running multiple vehicles into the ditch or median on northbound Highway 3 from approximately Newberry Road to Trigger Avenue, according to charging documents from the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office.
Harvey was apprehended at the scene after he had rolled his own truck, wandered onto the highway where he initially jumped into the bed of a pickup, gotten off when the driver called 911, then attempted to climb into another truck with such force that he broke the door handle off.
