BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A man is in custody after crashing into multiple parked cars while being chased by police in Bellingham.
Bellingham Police spokesperson Megan Peters said officers responded to a report of a man passed out in his car in a Dairy Queen drive thru on Cordata Parkway Sunday afternoon.
When the officers opened the door to check on him, the man drove away and hit both the building and the front bumper of the patrol car on his way out of the parking lot. The man led police on a short chase and eventually crashed into three parked cars in the parking lot of Belleau Woods Apartments.
The suspect then ran away from the collision but stopped shortly after and was safely detained. Peters says probable cause was established to arrest the suspect, 30-year-old Cody Marini, on suspicion of driving under the influence and other charges.
The suspect remains at the Whatcom County Jail without bail.
