Graveyard Shift Cops Nab Vancouver Driver After Crash Uncovers Fentanyl Haul And Gun

Vancouver police say a late-night spin through an east-side curve ended in handcuffs, a wrecked car and a haul of suspected fentanyl and a handgun. Officers arrested a driver early Wednesday after a crash that followed what they describe as a dangerously sloppy turn and a brief pursuit through a neighborhood street grid.

According to a post from the Vancouver Police Department, patrol officers spotted a vehicle “driving recklessly through the northbound curve from NE Chkalov Drive onto NE 112th Avenue,” crossing into the oncoming lane and nearly losing control. When officers tried to pull the driver over, police say the headlights went dark and the car took off. A short time later, officers found the vehicle crashed on NE Burton Road.
