Thurston County deputies apprehended a 47-year-old man from Puyallup following a high-speed chase in west Olympia, which began at Capital Mall. The man, wanted for extortion, led police on a wild pursuit, crashing into a patrol car and a tree before being taken into custody. The chase was linked to an earlier extortion case where the man allegedly threatened a man for $2,100, later increasing the demand to $2,200 via text. Deputies found a handgun, meth, fentanyl, and cash in his possession, leading to charges of first-degree extortion, eluding police, drug possession, and assault. With a lengthy criminal history, the man faces a tough legal battle.
