What is wrong
with this picture? 15 to 20 feet distance, armed and threatening with a sword?
Pretty sure this constituted an “imminent deadly threat”. Now, I was not there
and am only commenting on what was published; but on the surface this definitely raises
numerous flags…
FINLEY, Wash. — A Finley man faces multiple charges for
allegedly leading officers on a high-speed chase exceeding 100 mph and
deliberately crashing into two patrol cars early Tuesday morning.
Shane DeWeber, 33, brandished a sword, fought with police
and was stunned with a Taser twice — with no effect — before being taken into
custody, according to Benton County Sheriff Steve Keane. DeWeber, who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 260 pounds, took the sword out of his pickup and threatened deputies, who were standing 15 to 20 feet away,
while refusing commands to surrender and asking them to shoot him, Keane said.
He got in the pickup and fled after a deputy attempted to stun him
with a Taser.
He led deputies on a high-speed chase down Highway 397 and
other roads around Finley, often driving on the wrong side of the road, Keane
said. They gave up the pursuit out of concern for the public.
His second confrontation with officers came after he crashed
his Dodge Ram pickup at more than 100 mph into vehicles from the Benton County
Sheriff’s Office and Kennewick Police Department that were waiting for him
along Haney Road around 4:30 a.m., Keane said.
