A Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy was injured while trying to apprehend the highway escapee, who had run out of the store and onto I-5 in Lynwood. Having a pedestrian run across the highway only resulted in what police called “minor” traffic accidents, which is fortunate.
Sheriffs did eventually catch up with the shoplifting suspect, but hasn’t released any other information about the incident.
