Sheriff’s deputies make hit-and-run arrest within hours

Clark County Sheriff’s Deputies investigating a Sunday morning hit-and-run collision that put a pedestrian in the hospital with serious injuries quickly located a parked car with fresh damage that matched the victim’s injuries.

They arrested Treven Perry, a 32-year-old Vancouver resident, on suspicion of felony hit-and-run.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, at about 1 a.m. Sunday a 20-year-old male was struck from behind by a dark-colored vehicle in the 4000 block of NE 131st Street in Vancouver. The suspect vehicle fled the scene without stopping.

The victim was transported to the hospital via ambulance.

Sheriff’s deputies began looking for a car with front-end damage consistent with the injuries suffered by the victim.

At approximately 8 a.m. Sunday, Detective Chris Luque of the Sheriff’s Office’s Tactical Detective Unit spotted a green 1995 Dodge Dakota, with what appeared to be fresh damage consistent with the collision, parked in the driveway of a residence one mile south of where the incident occurred. Perry was contacted there and booked into the Clark County Jail.

The victim remains hospitalized but is expected to survive.
