Spokane Valley Man Arrested for Assault, Driving Stolen Car

A man in Spokane Valley was arrested after assaulting a woman and attempting to flee in a car reported stolen from Seattle. The incident was interrupted by a good Samaritan who, after witnessing the assault, confronted the suspect and fired a shot at the vehicle's tire as the suspect tried to escape, leading to the suspect's eventual arrest on charges including robbery, assault, and possession of a stolen vehicle. The good Samaritan was not charged for his intervention. Law enforcement later located both the female victim, who received medical attention, and the suspect, who was also found to have an outstanding warrant from King County. The suspect had originally offered the woman a ride before the situation escalated into an argument and assault. The woman did not sustain serious injuries.
