| Joshua Blackwell Wanted for eluding police |
Monday night around 7:30pm he fled from an officer in the silver car in the photographs.
The officer tried to stop him for reckless driving and he took off at a high rate of speed.
After a short time, the officer stopped chasing him because Blackwood was driving too dangerously.
The officer found his car, crashed on the off ramp from State Route 104 to the northbound lanes of Highway 99 (right near Burlington Coat Factory).
When the officer arrived, Blackwood got out and ran off. The officer checked Blackwood in the system and he had three misdemeanor warrants. One of those was for .... ...Reckless Driving.
A K9 track was not able to locate him.
The tattoo on his neck says "Family" in cursive.

Asking the public to help track someone down who had committed a murder,
assault, someone involved in grand theft or perhaps a kidnapping, this I could see, but a traffic infraction? Are things really that slow in Edmonds that we have to play up a traffic infraction?
Felony eluding isn't a traffic infraction.
