A Longview man was arrested Monday night after a high-speed pursuit that ended with him driving into the Columbia River near Clatskanie.
Longview police spokesperson Capt. Branden McNew said officers arrested Jaden James Hays, 27, of Longview, as he was wanted on robbery and assault charges related to a June 25 Longview incident.
According to McNew, the officers identified a black Volkswagen connected to Hays at Miller's Market, 3152 Washington Way.
Upon initiating a traffic stop, Hays reportedly fled, leading police on a high-speed chase that sometimes reached 120 mph and crossed the Lewis and Clark Bridge into Oregon.
