SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Police arrested a man wanted in connection to several Spokane Police Department and Spokane County Sheriff’s Office investigations on Wednesday afternoon, according to SCSO.
Around 12:30 p.m. on April 30, SPD and SCSO learned 33-year-old Jonothan A. Delay, a suspect in several criminal investigations, was likely at a home near Denison-Chattaroy Road and Newport Highway in Chattaroy.
Knowing Delay had a history of running from law enforcement, SPD and SCSO called in SWAT, drone operators and the SCSO Air 1 helicopter.
When police and deputies approached the home, Delay ran out the back door, hopped in a car and drove to a home near Mill Road and Westmoreland Road in Deer Park.
The Air 1 helicopter tracked his movement and guided ground units to the house. When police and deputies approached the house, Delay ran out back and tried to hide between two parked cars.
Air 1 guided SWAT to Delay and they arrested him.
He was booked into the Spokane County Jail on SPD/SCSO charges including eluding police, driving a stolen car, second-degree malicious mischief, hit-and-run and driving without a license.
