SPANAWAY, Wash. Pierce County deputies arrested three teenagers accused of throwing rocks at homeless people early Wednesday morning.

Deputies were called to a trailer parked near 152nd St S and Pacific Ave S in Spanaway, where a homeless woman was living. The victim told deputies that a white SUV kept driving by, and people inside it were throwing rocks at her and her friend.

While getting a statement from her, authorities say a white SUV passed by, so they flagged the car for a traffic stop, but the driver turned the headlights off and tried to get away.

The sheriff’s office says the SUV went down a dead-end road and had to stop, and deputies arrested them.
