The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) in Washington had quite a night recently. After spending much of the night trying to chase down a stolen Corvette, a social media post, of all things, finally led them to the 21-year-old suspect.

It was around 12:30 a.m. in Parkland, Washington, when one of Pierce County’s “graveyard deputies” saw a Corvette doing donuts in the middle of an intersection. Naturally, upon seeing the police, the Corvette driver sped off. Despite giving chase, the deputy was unable to catch up to the supercar.

According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, the deputy then relayed the Corvette’s direction of travel on the radio. Shortly thereafter, a sergeant picked up the pursuit and attempted to stop the suspect. Again, the driver eluded the police.

Later, the sergeant “learned a black Corvette was listed as stolen, and multiple other jurisdictions had similar encounters with the vehicle, but were never able to catch it.”

“About an hour later, another deputy spots a black Corvette in the area where they lost sight of it,” PCSO reported. “This Corvette matched the description of the vehicle that eluded the deputies earlier. When deputies investigated, they learned the Corvette was, in fact, stolen and was the same vehicle they had been chasing.”

When deputies knocked on the door where the Corvette was eventually located, the man who answered feigned ignorance. He claims his friend dropped it off there, but he did not know anything about it.

A later search of social media yielded videos of the suspect driving the stolen Corvette and committing other crimes.

Deputies were then able to arrest the suspect, who was also wanted for reckless driving and unlawful exhibition of speed. They charged him with eluding, possession of a stolen vehicle, and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.
