The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON – Three wanted subjects were arrested in Dayton last Friday after attempting to flee from a Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Deputy. The deputy had planned to pull over the gray Chevrolet Lumina in the 100 block of North Front Street, but the driver failed to yield and stopped instead at 101 Klingenstein Drive. The driver then fled on foot.

Deputies searched the area and located the driver, 25-year-old Milton-Freewater man Salvador Saucedo, Jr. Saucedo was already wanted on a warrant out of Walla Walla for failure to appear on charges in that county of vehicle prowl and malicious mischief. He was arrested in Columbia County on suspicion of attempting to elude a law enforcement vehicle.

Also located and arrested at the scene were 39-year-old Richard Streck and 26-year-old Katie Sargent, both of College Place. Steck was wanted by the Department of Corrections as well as the U.S. Marshals Service on a federal probation violation. Sargent was wanted by Department of Corrections and was named in two warrants out of Walla Walla County.

Both Sargent and Streck will face local charges of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
