Dispatch relayed it was a two-vehicle collision involving a silver 2013 Toyota Corolla (WA/ ALN0343) and a silver Kia Soul. Both vehicles had pulled to the side of the roadway. At approximately 1455 hours, dispatch updated the Kia Soul fled northbound on Interstate 405 and the reporting party was unable to get a license plate. I arrived at approximately 1456 hours. UNIT 1: KIA SOUL The Kia Soul was not at the location when I arrived; it fled prior to my arrival. UNIT 2:TOYOTA COROLLA I observed a silver Toyota Corolla (WA/ALN0343, Unit 2) stopped facing south in the southbound lane of Sunset Boulevard NE just south of the northbound Interstate 405 on-ramp. Unit 2 had not been moved from its point of rest. Unit 2's rear end was partially blocking the traffic lane. Unit 2 was parked oblique to the lane of travel with the front-passenger wheel nearly touching the raised, concrete curbing along the roadway edge. Unit 2 had minor damage from the collision.The front-passenger bumper was broken and was attached only by a plastic push-clip attached to the front-passenger fender liner and the wiring harness for a fog lamp.The bumper piece was hanging on the ground, rendering Unit 2 unsafe to drive. I removed the broken bumper piece by breaking the plastic push-clip and unfastening the This incident occurred in the sCity of Renton,King County,Washington State. !declare underpenalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.

DRIVER 1: UNKNOWN SUSPECT The driver of Unit 1 was not initially identified as he fled the scene prior to my arrival. DRIVER 2:TUN, MALEES S. I contacted Malees S.Tun (DOB: 12/28/1994) sitting in Unit 2's driver seat. I identified her by her valid Washington Driver License and established her as the driver of Unit 2 by her admission. Tun was not injured from the collision. STATEMENT:TUN MALEES S Before speaking with Tun, I followed her while she drove her vehicle to a nearby parking lot to clear the roadway.We spoke in the parking lot of Enterprise Rental Car at 353 Sunset Boulevard N. The following is a summary of our conversation: Tun drove Unit 2, which belonged to her mother, south on Sunset Boulevard NE toward the intersection with the northbound Interstate 405 on-ramp.Tun saw a vehicle, a silver Kia Soul, stopped in the northbound Sunset Boulevard NE left-turn lane to enter the northbound Interstate 405 on-ramp. Tun continued driving south, as she was familiar with the area and knew the Kia Soul was faced with a Yield sign and she had right-of-way.

Tun stopped her vehicle in the sorthbound lane of Sunset Boulevard NE near the on-ramp, and the Kia stopped along the shoulder of the on-ramp.The Kia appeared to be in a safe location, as traffic was light,vehicles were able to safely enter the on-ramp, and the Kia was not in a dangerous/hazardous position in the roadway. Tun exited her vehicle and began speaking with the driver of the Kia, who also exited the vehicle. Tun described the driver of the Kia as a white male in his 40's with glasses wearing a gray sweatshirt. The driver said he was going to exchange information with Tun during their brief conversation. Tun's cell phone automatically called 911 after detecting the collision.Tun told the driver she was going to wait for police to arrive. The driver seemed concerned by this statement the police would be responding.The driver suddenly got in the Kia and drove away north on the northbound Interstate 405 on-ramp without exchanging information with Tun. The driver did not exchange any information with Tun including, but not limited to, his name, phone number, address, or insurance information. Tun described the Kia as a silver Kia Soul with temporary license plates and damage to the passenger door. PROBABLE CAUSE Based on my conversation with Tun, I had probable cause to arrest the driver of the Kia Soul for a violation of RCW 46.52.020(2)(a). The driver of the Kia Soul was involved in an accident with Tun, who was driving another vehicle, and the driver of the Kia Soul failed to meet the requirements of RCW 46.52.020(3),which require drivers to exchange certain information at the scene of a collision.

At approximately 1502 hours, as I spoke with Tun in the parking lot of 353 Sunset Boulevard N, Tun suddenly pointed at a silver Kia Soul driving south on Sunset Boulevard N near where we were standing.Tun said that was the suspect vehicle.Tun confirmed that specific vehicle was the same vehicle involved in the collision, not just a like-type vehicle. I saw a silver Kia Soul with a temporary license plate affixed to the rear license plate mount driving south on Sunset Boulevard N in the number one (closest to curb) lane toward N 3rd Street. I did not see damage to the passenger side or see the driver, since the vehicle was too far down the road. The Kia turned right (west) onto N 3rd Street from Sunset Boulevard N and drove out of view to continue west on N 4th Street. I broadcast the location, direction of travel,vehicle description, suspect description, and the fact I had probable cause to arrest the driver for misdemeanor hit and run via radio. At approximately 1504 hours, I heard Officer C. Littleton broadcast he located the vehicle near N 6th Street and Logan Avenue N. At approximately 1507 hours, I heard via radio that Officer C. Littleton, Officer M. Battle, and Officer C. Arnold stopped the vehicle in the 600 block of Park Avenue N and they had the driver detained. I also heard the driver invoked his Miranda Rights. IN-FIELD SHOW UP Tun told me she would be able to identifythe driver if seen again. At approximately 1509 hours, I read Tun the Pre One-on-One Admonition verbatim from my department issued officer's code book.Tun told me she understood.

Meeker(DOB: 11/29/1969) by his Washington Driver License,was detained. Tun was sitting in the rear-driver seat of my patrol vehicle. My backseat Axon camera was recording.This seat was open,with no plastic or metal caging for prisoner transport. As we arrived, Meeker was standing about 50 feet in front of my patrol vehicle. I saw Meeker matched the suspect description Tun told me earlier: he was a white male, appeared to be in his 40's, was wearing sunglasses, and wore a gray sweatshirt. Nearly immediately upon seeing Meeker,Tun said something to the effect of, "That's him". Tun said she was 100-percent sure Meeker was the driver that collided with her. I relayed this information to officers on scene. SUSPECT VEHICLE: KIA SOUL I saw the Kia Soul parked in a private driveway in the 600 block of Park Avenue N after being stopped by officers. It had a temporary license plate (WA/A8474388) affixed to the rear license plate mount.The vehicle appeared to be the same one I saw drive south on Sunset Boulevard N because I recognized the paint color and the temporary license plate. The Kia had what appeared to be fresh collision damage to the leading edge of the front-passenger door.This coincided with the damage Tun described earlier. The vehicle was registered to Meeker. ARREST/TRANSPORTATION/BOOKING I placed Meeker under arrest for a violation of RCW 46.52.020(2)(a).

Meeker provided me his insurance information.This was done outside of Miranda, and done only for Tun's insurance purposes. Officer Battle transported Meeker to the South Correctional Entity Jail where he was booked. See Officer Battle's supplemental report for additional information. PHOTOGRAPHS I photographed both Meeker's and Tun's vehicles with my department issued cell phone and uploaded the photographs to Axon's Evidence.com. PROXIMATE CAUSE The proximate cause of the collision was determined by Tun's statement and damage I observed to both vehicles. Meeker's actions were the proximate cause of the collision, specifically his violation of RCW 46.61.190(3), which states: The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall in obedience to such sign slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and if required for safety to stop, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering a marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or if none,then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the roadway, and then after slowing or stopping,the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways: PROVIDED,That if such a driver This incident occurred in the sCity of Renton,King County,Washington State. !declare underpenalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.
