SPOKANE, Wash – Spokane Police say a man who ran over several pedestrians and slammed into the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery Friday night was also found with drugs.
Friday night, police responded to calls from witnesses, saying a minivan slammed into the crisis nursery building on East Sprague.
When officers arrived, they found the vehicle resting against the side of the building and two people with injuries.
They also found two men laying in the road with injuries.
What they didn’t find was the owner of the vehicle.
Officers spoke to a woman at the scene who said she was a passenger in that vehicle. She said she only knew the driver as “Sam.” Police asked her to call Sam and he said he was at 2nd and Arthur.
Officers found the man in that area a short time later.
He told police he was on his way to meet his girlfriend and denied being in an accident.
“I noticed Samual had broken glass all over his back and in his hair,” the officer wrote in the statement of facts. “This is consistent with someone being involved in a car accident and very unusual for someone to have that was just out for a walk.”
