Thurston County deputy fights with DUI suspect who grabbed her gun at crash scene

Wash. — Newly-released videos show the moments a suspected impaired driver grabbed a Thurston County Sheriff’s deputy’s gun during a fight at the scene of a car crash last month.

The deputy was driving home on Oct. 15. when she came across a crash at the intersection of Pacific Ave SE and Old Pacific Hwy, east of Lacey.

KOMO News obtained video of the incident this week through a public records request.

The video shows the deputy alerting dispatchers of the crash and requesting additional units to help at the scene.

Shortly after, the deputy radios that one of the drivers was not complying with her orders to stay out of his car and show his hands.
